The Harbinger was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Navy famous for being one of the only Star Destroyers to be hijacked by the Rebel Alliance.

Description[]

The Harbinger was 1,600 meters long, the standard length for an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. As such, it was initially armed with turbolaser batteries, ion cannons, and several tractor beam projectors.^[7] Before it was hijacked, the Harbinger was upgraded with the removal of its tractor beam targeting array with a communications tower.^[1][2]

History[]

For months after the battle of Yavin, the Star Destroyer was stationed on unknown planet as it carried the TIE fighters.^[1]
