The Intervention was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Fifth Fleet of the Open Circle Armada, a branch of the Republic Navy during the last stages of the Clone Wars.
[edit] History
During the Outer Rim Sieges, Senator Bail Prestor Organa used the Intervention on a survey of the situation in the Outer Rim Territories. A task force led by High General Mace Windu accompanied Organa on this mission.
In reality, Organa wished to aid Obi-Wan Kenobi on his mission to bring the Separatist commander Asajj Ventress to justice, and the Intervention left the survey to rendezvous with the wayward Jedi. With the help of the ARC trooper Alpha and his elite Squad Seven, the Intervention rescued Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from a Vulture droid swarm at Maramere, where they had been on a mission to find Ventress, but found Durge instead.
Skywalker then pinpointed Ventress' location to the graveyard world of Boz Pity. After discovering that a large number of CIS starships had formed a blockade around the planet, Mace Windu and several other Jedi joined Kenobi on the Intervention and helped launch a preemptive assault on Boz Pity.
During the Battle of Boz Pity, Anakin Skywalker piloted the Star Destroyer past the Separatist blockade, but came out of hyperspace too close to the planet. The warship was forced to crash-land on the surface, where it was subsequently abandoned by the Jedi, who survived the crash.
