The Harrow served the Imperial Navy as a Victory-class Star Destroyer throughout the Imperial Era. This Star Destroyer once traversed the space above a planet that was brown in color. This ship contained operational sublight engines.
The Harrow made its initial mention within the new Star Wars canon as a card bearing the same designation. This card was part of the 2019 Rebellion in the Rim campaign expansion for Star Wars: Armada, a miniatures game by Fantasy Flight Games.
The vessel was initially designed within the Star Wars Legends continuity. Its debut occurred in the eleventh issue of the Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron comic-book series. Michael A. Stackpole wrote the issue, John Nadeau provided the illustrations, and Dark Horse Comics published it on August 14, 1996.
