The Rakehell was an Onager-class Star Destroyer in service to the Imperial Navy during the Imperial Era. At one point, it flew alongside two Victory-class Star Destroyers near a red nebula. The Star Destroyer was equipped with engines, two superweapons on its bow,[1] and two deflector shield generator domes.[3] As an Onager, the Rakehell was 1,288 meters in length.[2]
Behind the scenes
The Rakehell was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon on a card of the same name in the Onager-class Star Destroyer Expansion Pack, a 2020 expansion for the miniatures game Star Wars: Armada by Fantasy Flight Games.[1]
The card was illustrated by JB Casacop, who released the full image on his ArtStation profile, titled as "Black Fleet Rakehell."[4] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Sorannan-class Star Destroyer eventually known as the Rakehell originally belonged to the Imperial Black Fleet.[5]
