The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Challenge is a ship of the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps. It is currently assigned as the Command ship of Battlegroup III, and is home to Wing X.
History and Lineage
In July 2021, High Admiral Anahorn Dempsey retired and Vice Admiral Silwar Naiilo took the helm as commodore.
In June 2020, the ISD-II Challenge was re-activated along with its assigned wing, Wing X. High Admiral Anahorn Dempsey was assigned as the ship's Commodore. Soon after its commissioning, HA Dempsey brought in former Typhoon pilot Denys Elara to be the ship's Wing Commander, who received the appointment rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Formerly, the ISD-II Challenge was a ship of the TIE Corps Battlegroups and was the host of Wing X. The TIE Corps Commander and the Strategic Operations Officer also previously had their Command Offices on the ship.
In its history, the ISD-II Challenge has been home to many legends of the TIE Corps, including but not limited to VA Zósite Kónstyte Styles, GN Elwood the Brave, RA Kate Cantor Flyer, HA Daniel Bonini, VA Corran Force, VA Locke Setzer and many others.
