Author's Note: I'm a FractalSponge fanboy. Have been for years, he churns out the most awe-inspiring Imperial warship designs bar none. Also the Empire and the Dark Side are nowhere near as bad as old hermits would have you believe.
I am Captain Rock of the Eviscerator. With my very Corellian attire I look more like a smuggler than a commander. The low-slung blaster and lightsaber on my belt don't help the illusion; yet here I stand. With that mental picture welcome aboard my ship. The Eviscerator is a 4.3 kilometer long Compellor-class heavy cruiser, most recognized as the warship design pair to the Impellor-class fleet carrier. Her class starts with nearly 10 times the weaponry of an ISD, and the Eviscerator has been modified to carry even more. The Eviscerator is completely automated with her own slaved automated fighter complement and semi-sentient AI. An AI that projects itself as a gorgeous redhead chick no less. It's better than a projection of Darth Vader but it gets a touch distracting occasionally. Anyway I digress.
I've been the commander of this beauty since Lord Vader's attack on Hoth; the Emperor finally deciding my training as an experimental Force-trained warship commander was complete. Amusingly the galaxy seems content to ignore me. So the Eviscerator and I have become something of a ghost story, most of the Outer Rim now tells tales of a grey cruiser with red accents weaving a trail of destruction through and across the Rim, especially since both the 'New Republic' and 'Imperial Remnant' have had patrols eviscerated. (Terrible pun. My apologies) Everything from MC80 Mon Calamari cruisers and Imperial series ISDs to X-Wings and Tartan patrol craft have tried to engage the Eviscerator. So far no one has even managed to put a dent in the shields. I keep expecting a full task force to show up and demand my surrender or something. I'm sure someone will come calling with actual firepower eventually.
At least it's exciting out here, the self-proclaimed 'New Republic' has its hands full with the returned Grand Admiral Thrawn, he's been very busy and the war has allowed me to sit in the shadows and watch the show. Uh oh, sensors are picking up a task force on the far side of the system; that's ironic...
