We'll be destroyed for sure. ―C-3PO, during the Devastator's attack on the Tantive IV[src] The Devastator was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Navy famous for its participation in the capture of the Tantive IV and as Darth Vader's flagship for a time. It later participated in the Imperial victory at Hoth and was destroyed during the decisive battle fought at Endor. The Devastator was 1,600 meters long, the standard length for an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. As such, it was initially armed with turbolaser batteries, ion cannons, and several tractor beam projectors.[14] Several dozens of times in its service life, the Devastator was structurally altered from its original design to include the latest weapons and systems, which kept it more than competitive with the battleships that were commissioned later.
[2] Unlike some other Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, such as Lawbringer and Relentless,[15] the ventral hangar within Devastator's docking bay was split into two smaller sections, and the dorsal hangar featured a cover, so that the bays behind weren't visible. The Devastator was the last of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyers to lumber out of Kuat Drive Yards before the facility began producing the Imperial II-class.[4] Despite this, it was still considered a state-of-the-art warship, and had undergone numerous retrofits to keep it comparable with newer ships of the line. In 5 BBY,[7] fourteen years after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Devastator was the flagship of Lord Tion. However in 0 BBY,[7] it now belonged to the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who used it in his struggle against the Rebel Alliance. Appearing over the planet Scarif near the conclusion of the Battle of Scarif, the arrival of the Devastator proceeded to cut off the escape of the Alliance Fleet, immediately destroying a GR-75 medium transport by colliding with it, and disabling several ships, including the Rebel flagship Profundity which had received the plans for the Death Star.
After boarding the Profundity, Vader proceeded to cut through Rebel troopers who were delivering the plans. Vader failed, and the plans were delivered to Leia Organa, onboard the Tantive IV, a CR90 corvette that was docked onboard the Profundity. Fleeing at the last second, the Tantive IV escaped from the system and Vader pursued the starship in the Devastator. Arriving over Tatooine, a brief skirmish ensued over the planet, resulting in the Star Destroyer successfully capturing the Tantive IV. Imperial troops boarded the enemy ship, and the Devastator also targeted and destroyed any escape pods that were launched in order to ensure none of the Rebels escaped. The sole exception was R2-D2 and C-3PO's pod—which even then was only because Imperial Gunners did not detect any life signs in the pod, and dismissed it as a malfunction. When the Super Star Destroyer Executor completed construction, Vader transferred his flag, and Jhared Montferrat took command of the Devastator. However, the legendary vessel remained a part of Death Squadron, Vader's personal flotilla.
Under Montferrat's command, the Devastator notably participated at the Battle of Hoth,[2] which resulted in a clear Imperial victory. The Devastator, the pride of the Death Squadron, met its fate at Endor, during a battle which the Emperor had meant to be the end of the Rebellion. The ship, still commanded by Montferrat, faced Blade Squadron, a group of Rebel B-wing pilots. Ultimately, the ship was destroyed when two of those pilots, Gina Moonsong and Braylen Stramm, caused a chain reaction of explosions that led to the systematic demolition of the Star Destroyer. Prior to the destruction of Alderaan, the Devastator was the property of Darth Vader himself. As of the Battle of Hoth, it was commanded by Jhared Monteferrat, who held the title of admiral when the ship was destroyed during the fight over Endor.[2] The senior ISB officer onboard was Captain Ronnadam. ↑ 1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 1.10 1.11 1.12 1.13 1.14 Ultimate Star Wars ↑ 2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07 2.08 2.09 2.10 2.11 2.12 2.13 2.14 2.15 "Blade Squadron"—Star Wars Insider 149–150

You may be looking for World Devastators. "The is mine, and those who oppose me will meet a swift end." The Devastator was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Navy famous for its participation in the capture of the Tantive IV and as Darth Vader's flagship for a time.
At some point in its service life, the Devastator was structurally altered from its original design to hold an increased amount of armament and munitions. "I.S.D. Mark One, flagship of late Lord Tion. Saw extensive action in Subjugation of Ralltiir. Post-Yavin, Lord Vader assumed control." In 7 BBY, the Devastator was serving with Darth Vader's personal fleet. When a secret biological weapons research laboratory on Falleen required containment, Vader ordered the Devastator to bombard the surface with turbolaser fire, despite Captain Bolvan's preference for a ground assault. By 0 BBY, the Devastator was acting as Lord Tion's flagship in his campaign against Rebel outposts. Under Tion, the Devastator also participated in the Subjugation of Ralltiir. Following Tion's death, Vader raised his flag on the Devastator and began his pursuit of the Rebel who had stolen the plans to the first Death Star. Vader caught the Tantive IV at Toprawa and chased it to Tatooine, where it was successfully captured by the Devastator.
Vader quickly dispatched a TIE/br boarding shuttle filled with the troops of the 501st Legion, and boarded the Tantive IV. Later the crew of the Devastator attached a portable accessway to the corvette. The Devastator also targeted and destroyed any escape pods that were launched in order to ensure none of the Rebels escaped. The sole exception was R2-D2 and C-3PO's escape pod—which even then was only because they didn't detect any life signs in the pod, and dismissed it as a malfunction. During those events, Blue Squadron of the Anchorhead Base moved to intercept it. Rookie One and Ru Murleen were called from Kolaador and joined with Thurlow Harris against the Devastator. They intercepted the TIE/LN starfighters moving against them while Rookie One destroyed the Star Destroyer's emplacement cannons, destroyed its shield generators and managed to damage its bridge. It was the Devastator's forces, including the famed 501st Legion, that defeated the Rebel forces on Tatooine and gave chase to the fleeing Millennium Falcon.
Captain Mulchive Wermis served Vader as the vessel's captain throughout this time period and in the following months, during the blockade of the Gordian Reach, the assault on Ultaar, and other missions. The next year, the vessel served in the Blockade of Kashyyyk.Your fears betray you. I am not here to take command of this ship again." ―Darth Vader, to the command staff of the Devastator[src] When the Executor completed construction, Vader transferred his flag, but the Devastator remained a part of his roving, Rebel-hunting Death Squadron. Prior to the completion of the Executor, the vessel was commanded by Captain Nevik. Agent Sollaine, head of the Imperial Security Bureau and Vader's rival, commandeered the ship to track down undercover Rebel spies. Nevik and Sollaine came to a clash of opinion, Sollaine believing the agents to be on Corulag while Nevik believed they were in the Alfestril system. Sollaine executed Nevik to have his way, but Vader intercepted the vessel at Corulag and killed Sollaine for executing Nevik.
Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the ship fought Warlord Nuso Esva's forces in the Poln system as part of Death Squadron. Around 2 ABY an ISB captain Jeffren Brek arrived to the Devastator to present a report to his superior, General Nevar.[13] The Devastator had participated at the Battle of Hoth under command of an unnamed captain as part of the Death Squadron. It was finally destroyed during the events of the Battle of Endor, under a concentrated attack of A-wings and B-wings. Although the Devastator was Darth Vader's flagship prior to the Operation Skyhook, the authors of X-Wing: The Official Strategy Guide mention that Vader was on Immortal. A Devastator appears in the game Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, but it is an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer. The limited context doesn't provide enough information to determine whether this is a blooper or a different ship altogether. In Death Star, the Devastator is, at one point, erroneously identified as a Super Star Destroyer.
This may be a mistaken reference to Darth Vader's Star Dreadnought flagship, Executor, which was called a Super Star Destroyer by the Rebel Alliance's Admiral Ackbar. The Devastator was the second ship seen in the entire series, after the Tantive IV. Although in-universe it dwarfed the Tantive IV, its production model for filming was half the size of the Tantive IV's production model. In the non-canon story Tantive IV, originally published in Star Wars Manga: Black issue of Tokyopop's Star Wars Manga, the Devastator mistakenly captures Tantive V over Tatooine, a decoy ship masquerading as Tantive IV and manned entirely by Gungans. Vader soon realizes the mistake and captures the real Tantive IV less than an hour later. ↑ 1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 1.10 1.11 1.12 1.13 1.14 1.15 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.19 1.20 1.21 Vader: The Ultimate Guide ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Masters of the Force ↑ Star Wars Customizable Card Game – Cloud City Limited ↑ Star Wars: The Assassination of Darth Vader
