Deathshead



"And they say that the Coalies have built the Deathshead, a Xyston II-class Star Destroyer whose intention was to enforce law and order throughout their occupied territories with the threat of destruction, as same as what the USS George W. Bush was doing the same to Alliance-occupied territories. It was from the Moon, whereby the others are in Exegol since they're too expensive to do so. Guess they wanted to destroy Alliance planets as last resort like what we do to Coalition planets."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Destroying Yavin 4

The Deathshead was a Xyston II-class Star Destroyer of the Coalition of the Red Star that was first of the new starships originally built to enforce law and order throughout the Coalition with the threat of destruction as a last resort. She was infamously used to destroy Yavin 4, a moon that once hosted the headquarters of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

History

 * "Send the Deathshead to a world they know. Let it burn."
 * ―Victor Nevarez gives the order for Yavin 4 to be annihilated

On the orders from Victor, the Deathshead was the only surviving starship of her class to launch from the Moon while the remainder of the Immortal Armada was stationed on Exegol, their numbers are too expansive to all leave the planet simultaneously without being guided out by a navigational beacon.

Nevarez later ordered Lord Commander Reginar Albrecht to choose a planet with connections to the Grand Alliance to destroy as a show of force and a warning. The frigid world of Yavin 4 was chosen, and the Deathshead used her upgraded axial superlaser to obliterate the entire moon. After this, the Star Destroyer fled to Exegol to join the Sith fleet.

During the Battle for the Multiverse, Victor, who was on the verge of being overwhelmed by Wanda Maximoff, ordered Corvus Glaive to have the Deathshead direct all of her weapons onto the battlefield in order to save himself. This bombardment of airstrikes stopped Maximoff, but she also resulted in massive casualties among Nevarez's own army.

Shortly, the Deathshead detected the approach of Carol Danvers from above and directed its fire up at her as she arrived, but the lasers had no effect on her. She crashed through the Deathshead's command bridge (disabling its weapons & killing both Milon Lenwith and Captain Chesille Sabrond in the process), then up towards her axial superlaser from below, functionally destroying her, thus sending her crashing to the ground.

Trivia

 * The Deathshead is named after Wilhelm Strasse in his honor for serving the Nazi Union during the pre-Last Day stage of World War III.
