Manticore was one of four Imperial I-class Star Destroyer stationed at the Maw Installation under the command of Captain Brusc as part of Admiral Daala's squadron.
[edit] History
After the escape of the Sun Crusher and the destruction of one of her Star Destroyers, the Hydra, Daala led her remaining three vessels on a guerilla campaign against the New Republic. The Manticore participated in combat actions against a New Republic colony on Dantooine and at the assault on the Mon Calamari homeworld of Dac. During that particular attack, Admiral Ackbar remotely piloted the battlecruiser Startide—with assistance from attacking B-wing starfighters—into a collision with the Manticore, destroying it. All hands, including Brusc, were lost.
The Manticore was most likely named in reference to the mythological beast.
