General Information Body Paragraph:

The Malevolence was a 4,845 metres long beast of a ship, it was armed with twin ion pulse cannons (one on each side) capable of disabling entire ships. The Malevolence was a Subjugator-class heavy cruiser with a minimum crew of 900 battle droids, it had very good offensive and defensive capabilities thanks to the ion pulse cannons and a number of other features such as tractor beams, 500 twin turbolasers, proton torpedoes, point defence weaponry and also a vulture droid escort. The ship used a simple but effective strategy of firing the ion pulse cannons at them disabling their ship and finishing the job with its secondary weaponry, if that was not enough it would send out a Droch-class boarding ship to destroy any and all witnesses. The ship after being ambushed while trying to destroy a medical station was badly damaged and thus had to flee with republic ships giving chase, the Malevolence managed to survive for some time but it was all in vain as Anakin Skywalker who had snuck onto the ship to rescue a senator sabotage the navigation system of the ship to crash into the dead moon of Antar.

History/Background Body Paragraph:

The Malevolence was commissioned in 22BBY by the CIS as a flagship and was destroyed during the same year by republic forces. The Subjugator-class heavy cruiser named “The Malevolence” was built by the Pammant Docks and the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps. The ship began its career under the command of General Grievous who had been given orders by Count Dooku to leave no survivors in order to keep the weapons true nature hidden. The first major mistake was made at the Battle of  Abregado where the Malevolence and its crew failed in the mission of killing all of the crew aboard the 3 republic ships it had attacked, the survivors were Plo Koon and his men who had fought off the droids who were trying to destroy the escape pods, they were rescued and went on to describe the weapon after witnessing it in person and also exposed the location of the ship. After some time the republic managed to predict the next target of the Malevolence and sent out a bomber squadron along with fighter escort from Plo Koon to stall the Malevolence until reinforcements arrived. The strike squad managed to damage the ion cannons right while they were firing, dealing massive damage to the ship and forcing it to retreat. After being chased by republic ships for some time it was finally taken down after Anakin Skywalker who had boarded the ship to rescue senator Amidala who was being held hostage, sabotaged the ship and made it crash into the Dead moon of Antar.

Additional Information Body Paragraph: 

The owners of the Malevolence were General Grievous and Count Dooku. The ship served as a flagship for Grievous up until its destruction. The Malevolence took part in the Battle of the Phu system which was won by the Malevolence, Battle of Abregado was also won by the ship but was not a total victory as mentioned earlier, the  Battle of Ryndellia system was also a easy victory as the poorly defended convoy the Malevolence faced was no match for its immense firepower and finally the Battle of Kalida Nebula which was the ships last battle in which it was destroyed.
