10!!Plot summary
11General Grievous has launched a deadly new weapon called the ''Malevolence'', a ''Subjugator''-class heavy cruiser armed with a large ion cannon that is capable of disabling the power systems of entire fleets in order to render them defenseless against the ship's massive array of turbolasers.

13!!Tropes:
14* WaveMotionGun: The ''Malevolence'' has a giant, ship-mounted ion cannon that can disable the power systems of entire fleets.
15* ShoutOut: The entire storyline of the ''Malevolence'' is taken directly from the real-life hunt for the German Battleship ''Bismarck'' by the British Royal Navy during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Each episode parallels the three major parts of that event, which is known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rheinübung Operation Rheinübung]]. The first episode parallels Allied warships engaging the ''Bismarck'' and being either destroyed or heavily damaged, the second episode parallels the airstrike that manages to cripple the ''Bismarck'', and the third episode parallels the final confrontation that ultimately sinks the ship.
