An Imperial-class Star Destroyer acted as the flagship for Tauntaza, a human female in the role of governor for the planet Gabredor III throughout the Galactic Empire's reign. Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, journeyed to Gabredor III on a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle sometime between 3 ABY and 4 ABY. His purpose was to assist Sabé, a former handmaiden, in rescuing refugees from the governor, who was utilizing Crimson Dawn's resources to strengthen her authority. Sabé proposed the straightforward solution of destroying the Star Destroyer. Vader rejected this plan, choosing instead to instruct the shuttle to land so he could inspect a colony and verify the truth of Sabé's statements.
