“In the climactic finale of Star Wars’ horror-infused saga, Dark Droids, the menacing entity known as Scourge takes possession of the Imperial Star Destroyer Chelator, augmenting it into a terrifying force capable of annihilating the galaxy. This peril looms, threatening to extinguish all sentient life not assimilated into its universe-spanning hive mind.
A glimpse into Charles Soule, Luke Ross, Alex Sinclair, and Travis Lanham’s Star Wars: Dark Droids #3 showcases the newly rebranded Scourge 01. Originally an Imperial vessel, it now serves as the command center for Scourge—a viral AI relentlessly seeking to assimilate both biological lifeforms and droids.
The formidable ship, adorned in ominous black and emanating the distinctive purple hue synonymous with Scourge’s influence, is a formidable sight. However, it’s the crew aboard that truly amplify its terror. Scourge’s macabre experiments at the crossroads of biological and synthetic life infest Scourge 01, resulting in ghastly features—pale, zombie-like appendages and hauntingly glowing purple eyes.
