The Archer was a Galactic Republic navy vessel, specifically a Tector-class Star Destroyer, that saw action towards the conclusion of the Clone Wars. Kuat Drive Yards manufactured this warship, which stretched one mile in time length. As the Clone Wars drew to a close in 19 BBY with the Confederacy of Independent Systems' Droid Army being deactivated, the father of Isila Drutch, a future Galactic Empire stormtrooper, was stationed on the Archer. Drutch referenced this detail in their memoirs from 33 ABY, describing the starship as belonging to the "old" variety of Tector-class Star Destroyers.
Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart first presented the Archer in their 2012 reference book titled The Essential Guide to Warfare.
