The Animus functioned as a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer. The Fel Empire made use of it in 138 ABY. With the rise of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, the Animus also found itself serving the Triumvirate.
Following Ania Solo and her team transmitting a distress call when their ship sustained damage during their chase of Darth Wredd, the Animus detected the signal and readied for an emergency boarding of their vessel, leading Sauk, a member of Solo's crew, to question the situation. Subsequently, a female officer greeted Solo upon her arrival on the Animus, remarking on the unusual occurrence of civilians appearing on a Star Destroyer, particularly those hailing from the Outer Rim. The officer also conveyed that Empress Marasiah Fel was impressed by Solo's involvement in saving Imperial Knight Yalta Val from the Carreras system and had requested Solo's presence before a formal gathering concerning the Triumvirate, which left Solo bewildered.
