The Prosperous was a Providence-class Dreadnought[2] manufactured in the factories on the planet Pammant by the Quarren builders of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps.[1] The dreadnought served in the naval forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars against the Galactic Republic.[2]

In 19 BBY,[3] the Prosperous participated in an unprecedented assault on Coruscant,[2] the Core Worlds capital planet of the Republic[3] alongside a large Separatist fleet commanded by Kaleesh General Grievous in an attempt to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.[4] However, during the destroyer's engagements with the Republic, the Prosperous was captured by a Republic boarding party from the Star Destroyer Impavid led by Jedi General Saesee Tiin.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Prosperous was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the "Secrets of Spaceflight" section of the fifty-eighth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[2] published around February 10, 2016.[5] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Prosperous was introduced in the twenty-third episode of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series,[6] which aired on March 26, 2005.[7] It was then identified in the StarWars.com Databank entry for Saesee Tiin.[8]
