Taken by surprise, Zaarin was forced to withdraw, and Vanguard successfully rescued Palpatine. After Thrawn left for the Unknown Regions, Vanguard was transferred to Selene. After the Battle of Endor, she came under the command of Admiral Russel Canis. Canis's fleet took off for Dreven following the Interim Ruling Council's flight there. Vanguard would serve as the flagship of the Imperial Navy during this time period. It led the Imperial campaign at the Battle of Etti IV, until midway through the engagement, a New Republic cruiser collided with the rear of the Vanguard, breaching the primary and emergency reactor compartments, and exposing the Engineering section to the vacuum of space. With the loss in power and ensuing chaos, the Star Destroyer was quickly overwhelmed by the gathered New Republic forces. Stormtroopers were successful in rescuing Admiral Canis before the ship was entirely destroyed, but radiation poisoning from the damaged reactor would later claim the Admiral's life. Vanguard would break up, its hulk and debris later salvaged by the Empire.
