Naga Sadow's Flagship was a massive Sith battleship built before 5,000 BBY. It was equipped with powerful Force-enhancing devices capable of wrenching out the heart of stars.

[edit] Description
The battleship was also green in color and larger than most other capital ships. Its control room was dominated by a bank of crystal which the pilot could use to control the ship through the Dark Side of the Force. As with many other Dark Side devices, it left a dark presence in the Force and enhanced the powers of a dark sider.
[edit] History
During the Great Hyperspace War, the Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow used it as part of the Sith fleet which invaded the Galactic Republic. During the battle of Primus Goluud, Sadow used the vessel's electrical weapons to cause the red supergiant Primus Goluud to go supernova, forcing the Sith fleet and Empress Teta's Koros forces to retreat. This allow Naga Sadow's forces to flee back to Sith Space.
The Dark Lord's fleet came out of hyperspace over Korriban, and was quickly confronted by a larger fleet under his rival Ludo Kressh. Ludo Kressh declared himself the new Dark Lord, casting Naga Sadow out of the Sith Empire forever. A brief space battle ensued between the two, until Naga Sadow crashed one of his own ships into Ludo's flagship, killing the self-proclaimed Dark Lord.
Moments later, Empress Teta's forces arrived above Korriban, and attacked Sadow's fleet. The Koros ships quickly took advantage, crippling the Dark Lord's flagship. As a last resort, Naga Sadow ordered the Massassi on two of his ships to kill their captains, forming a barricade between himself and the Republic ships. A small squadron of gunships followed Sadow however, but he once again used the electric weapons attached to his ship, this time on the nearby Denarii stars, causing them as well to go nova, destroying the gunships and their pilots. Empress Teta and her Jedi and Republic allies, presuming Sadow to have died in the explosion, recalled her fleet and returned to Koros Major.
Naga Sadow however escaped to the remote jungle moon of Yavin IV. There, he performed cruel genetic experiments on his Massassi soldiers and later forced them to build temples and palaces to honour him. He also had his flagship buried beneath a temple while he kept himself in suspended animation through the use of Sith alchemical technology to await the arrival of one whom he would bestow upon his Sith teachings and bring about the new Sith Golden Age that the late Dark Lord Marka Ragnos had prophesied.
In 4,400 BBY, the fallen Jedi Freedon Nadd awoke Naga Sadow and after the Sith Lord bestowed to him his Sith teachings, presumably killed him. Nadd would later start a Dark Side theocracy on Onderon which would last until Jedi/Republic intervention in 4,000 BBY. When another fallen Jedi named Exar Kun arrived on the jungle moon in 3,997 BBY, he enslaved the native Massassi and had them construct yet more temples. During an excavations of an ancient temple, his slaves discovered Naga Sadow's entombed battleship.
Later, during the Great Sith War in 3,996 BBY, he placed the Krath leader Aleema Keto and the fallen Cathar Jedi Crado in command of Naga Sadow's battleship during an attack on Kemplex IX. When the Jedi and the Republic fleet arrived, Aleema used the battleship's electric device to rip the core of the ten stars of the Cron Cluster. In the ensuing explosion, the Republic/Jedi fleet was destroyed. However this process triggered a supernova which destroyed everything in its path including Naga Sadow's ancient battleship and the Sith fleet.
