USS Fitzgerald has left dry dock at a shipyard in Mississippi, almost two years after the guided missile destroyer collided with a merchant ship off the coast of Japan. That was one of four accidents in the Pacific Fleet in 2017 that cost the lives of 17 sailors.

Before the Battle of Yavin, most Super Star Destroyer dreadnought production lines were still undergoing construction, and the few partially constructed ships were only used as command centers At least one Super Star Destroyer was also put in dry dock in the first Death Star some time before its destruction in 0 ABY. An Imperial captain has gone rogue and taken his Star Destroyer with him. A group of adventurers who want to take back the ship can recruit a pilot to smuggle them aboard.

In addition, the way physics work is that it would be very difficult for a Star Destroyer to stay airborne in the artificial gravity the Death Star has without inflicting massive structural damage to the docking bay. This is because, for the Star Destroyer to stay airborne, it would have to exert a force equal to its own mass on the floor.

Earlier this month, the Navy dropped criminal charges against the Fitzgerald’s commander and a junior officer. Both received letters of censure that effectively end their careers, a move that concluded legal proceedings following the collisions that wrecked both the Fitzgerald and USS John McCain.

The most senior officer affected was Admiral Scott Swift, Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet who took early retirement. Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin was removed as commander of the 7th Fleet; Rear Admiral Charles Williams, commander of Task Force 70 and Captain Jeffrey Bennet, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15 were also removed from their positions.

But for the most part, responsibility was placed upon the officers of the two ships – though Lawrence Brennan, a retired naval judge advocate who now teaches at Fordham University Law School told Stars and Stripes that the most serious penalty was levied against the only enlisted man to face charges. Chief Petty Officer Jeffrey Butler pleaded guilty to one count of dereliction of duty and the subsequent demotion will cost him an estimated $200,000 in pay and retirement.

Brennan said that firing admirals or denying them a third star in retirement was not the same.

An investigation by ProPublica found systematic failures at the highest levels of the Navy, and also held Congress to blame.

The McCain left dry dock in Japan last November and is expected to rejoin the fleet this spring; it may be next year before repairs and upgrades are finished on the Fitzgerald.
