Katana Fleet

The Katana fleet, or the Dark Force, consisted of two hundred Dreadnaught heavy star cruisers. The fleet's flagship, the Katana was considered to be the finest starship of its time. The entire fleet was fitted with full-rig slave circuits to significantly decrease the size of the crew needed to run the ships. The fleet's unofficial name came from the dark gray hull surfacing of the Dreadnaughts.

With the Clone Wars still years away, the Katana fleet was launched to a massive Old Republic public-relations drive. Unfortunately, the crews were infected with a hive virus that drove them all mad. In their insanity, they slaved the ships together and the whole fleet jumped to light-speed, never to be seen again.
