The Nikardun destroyer constituted a destroyer type employed by the Nikardun Destiny hegemony's battle forces. These vessels possessed both engines and a hyperdrive for propulsion and faster-than-light travel. During 19 BBY, several Nikardun destroyers were orbited around the Unknown Regions planet Primea as part of the Destiny's Primea fleet, blockading the aforementioned world. These warships took part in the battle over Primea that pitted the Nikardun against the Chiss Ascendancy nation, with one destroyer fighting against a pair of Chiss missile boats. In the end, the Nikardun forces were defeated in this battle.
In Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, a 2020 novel and the initial part of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy, a Nikardun destroyer was featured.
