- "My father fought with the Republic Navy at Venestria and Ord Trasi, and was aboard one of the old Tectors—the Archer, she was called—when the Separatists shut down their clankers and the war stopped."
- ―From the memoirs of Isila Drutch
The Archer was a Tector-class Star Destroyer that was used by the navy of the Galactic Republic near the end of the Clone Wars. It was produced by Kuat Drive Yards[1] and measured one mile in length.[2] By the time when the Confederacy of Independent Systems deactivated its Droid Army[1] in 19 BBY,[3] thereby ending the Clone Wars, the father of the future Galactic Empire stormtrooper Isila Drutch was serving aboard the Archer. Drutch mentioned that fact in their 33 ABY memoirs, in which they characterized the starship as one of the "old" Tector-class Star Destroyers.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Archer was introduced in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[1]
