While usually portrayed as an evil-bent villain, many stories have alternatively depicted Thanos as having a twisted moral compass and thinking of his actions as justified. He has clashed with many heroes including the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. An Eternal– Deviant warlord from the moon Titan, Thanos is regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. He was created by writer-artist Jim Starlin, and made his first appearance in The Invincible Iron Man #55 ( cover date February 1973).

The notorious fleet has been noticeably absent from the galactic eye after suffering devastating defeats at Coruscant, and then taking heavy losses during the Battle of Corellia.Textless variant cover of Infinity #4 (October 2013).

The ships can carry up to sixty starfighters and shuttles, normally including one wing of three fighter squadrons, plus support ships. What makes the largest difference between these two ships is the vastly upgraded technology that gives the Defender superior defensive capabilities. It should be noted that, despite the touting of far superior firepower over the Republic-class, the two have nearly similar armaments: the difference is eight concussion missile launchers for the Defender, and two additional tractor beams for the Republic.
The armament of the Defender-class Star Destroyer consists of 40 heavy turbolaser cannons, 40 turbolaser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 tractor beam projectors, and 8 assault concussion missile tubes, each equipped with 30 missiles.
It is designed to be able to defeat any one enemy Star Destroyer, two heavy cruisers (such as Dreadnaughts or Vindicators), or an entire line of smaller Imperial support ships. Although it is only 1,040 meters long (65% of the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer), the Defender is considered a match for an Imperial-class Star Destroyer Mark II.
