Plot summary
General 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.
Tropes:
- Wave-Motion Gun: The Malevolence has a giant, ship-mounted ion cannon that can disable the power systems of entire fleets.
- Shout-Out: The entire storyline is taken directly from the real-life hunt for the German Battleship Bismarck by the British Royal Navy during World War II. Each episode parallels the three major parts of the event, Allied warships engaging the Bismarck and being either destroyed or heavily damaged, an airstrike that manages to cripple the Bismarck, and the final confrontation that ultimately sinks the ship.
