The Gemini-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Twin Star Destroyer, was a model of Star Destroyer used by the dark-side twins Karre and Am during the time of the Republic. The ship was armed with a hyper cannon capable of destroying entire planets, powered by a kyber crystal.
Characteristics[]
The Gemini-class Star Destroyer,[1] also known as the Twin Star Destroyer,[2] was a class of Star Destroyer that resembled two Imperial-class Star Destroyers that were conjoined by the barrel of a superweapon, the hyper cannon. When fully charged, the cannon could destroy entire planets, relying on a single kyber crystal for power. The Gemini-class also had at least two hangars, multiple laser cannons, and tractor beam projectors. Inside one of the hangars, the Star Destroyer carried TIE fighters, Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors, TIE/sa bomber, T-65B X-wing starfighter, and other vehicles. Its complement included stormtroopers and All Terrain Scout Transports.[1]
History[]
A Gemini-class Star Destroyer served as the flagship of the dark side of the Force twins Lord Karre and Am during the time of the Empire. Am was preparing to fire the ship's main weapon, but Karre stole the kyber crystal due to a Force vision he experienced in which he foresaw Am's death. After a skirmish inside the ship, the twins dueled outside on the hull of the ship, resulting in one side of the Star Destroyer being cut completely in half before Karre escaped.[1]
