The Hunter, a Victory I-class Star Destroyer, served the Galactic Empire throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War.
The Hunter, in conjunction with the Immobilizer 418 cruiser Claw, endeavored to intercept a group of Rebels. These Rebels were en route to Kothlis following their theft of a highly classified computer from the Imperial freighter named the Suprosa. Although supported by Assault Gunboats and its own complement of TIE/LN starfighters, the Claw was ultimately forced to retreat, allowing the Rebels to successfully arrive at Kothlis.
