Using Y-wing starfighters the Republic was able to disable one of the ship's main cannons and later reprogram its navigational computer causing it to crash into a uninhabited moon and blow up. This was largely motivated by the knowledge that the Separatists were planning an attack on the Kaliida Shoals medical station. The Malevolence in flames, moments before its destruction.Īfter the Republic Naval command became fully aware of the ship's devastating capabilities immediately dispatched a strike force under the command of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon and Knight Anakin Skywalker with his padawan Ahsoka to stop it. Skywalker rescued Koon and his surviving soldiers and escaped to hyperspace narrowly avoid a blast wave from the Malevolence's ion cannons. Koon and a small number of clones were able to escape before their cruiser was destroyed and had it not been for the actions of Anakin Skywalker and his padawan they most certainly would have died. As the flagship of the Kaleesh separatist, General Grievous, the Malevolence terrorized the Republic fleets in the early years of the Clone Wars. But when Koon and his fleet soon encountered the Malevolence, as so many Republic fleets before them, were disabled and overwhelmed by the ship's massive barrage of fire. A heavy cruiser that was one of only two Subjugator-class vessels known to exist, the Malevolence was a fearsome presence throughout the Clone Wars. That was until Jedi Master Plo Koon was tasked with locating a Republic battlegroup believed to be lost to Separatist ships. The Malevolence succeeded in destroying dozens of Republic ships using the aforementioned tactics, entire Republic fleets disappeared from the battlefield leaving only destroyed wreckage as a sign of the appearance of this strange new enemy. The Malevolence was able to deploy swarms of Vulture Droids and also kept Droch-class pod hunters on-board as well. The ship also employed hundreds of twin turbolaser batteries which on their own were more than capable of keeping many enemy warships on the defensive. The ship's entire combat strategy revolved around the use of these ion cannons, but the Malevolence also had at least two tractor beam projectors which could be used to ensnare smaller vessels. After these cannons rendered enemy ships dead in space, the Malevolence's sizable array blaster cannons opened up and annihilated the opposing forces. The legion while was only 14 years old had one a billion soldiers in its ranks of all sorts of kinds from worlds that were on the edge of the galaxy. The ship was equipped with two massive ion cannons mounted on both sides of the vessel's hull these cannons were able to disable entire fleets of enemy warships. The Legion had been involved with the republics war for over a week now and things seemed to be going even better now.
