"Dropships from the Star Destroyer Viscount put us into position and we advanced on Salline at 0200 as Chandrila's sun rose at our backs."
―Colonel Maximilian Veers, Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide[1]

The Viscount was a Star Destroyer in use by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.[1] Participating in the Pacification of Salline sometime in between 2 and 0 BBY,[2] the Viscount released dropships down to the planet, carrying the AT-ATs Hammer six and eight, as well as four AT-STs. When the rebels attempted to escape from the Imperial forces at the government center on the water, Colonel Maximilian Veers ordered the Viscount to send a flight of TIE fighters to intercept and eradicate them. The TIEs being successful, the battle was won for the Empire. Veers later mentioned the Viscount during a report on the battle, which was included in the Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide.[1]

  2. Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide places the publication of the book of the same name before the Battle of Yavin, and the Pacification of Salline involves the Alliance to Restore the Republic, which was formed in 2 BBY according to The Force Unleashed comic, thus the Pacification must have taken place sometime in between 2 and 0 BBY.
