The Animus functioned as a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer. The Fel Empire made use of it around 138 ABY. Post establishment of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, it was also put into service by the Triumvirate.
Following the transmission of a distress call by Ania Solo and her companions after their ship sustained damage during a chase involving Darth Wredd, the Animus detected the signal and readied for an emergency boarding of their damaged vessel. Sauk, a member of Solo's crew, questioned the potential benefits of this intervention. Subsequently, a female officer greeted Solo upon arrival on the Animus, commenting on the unusual occurrence of civilians, particularly those hailing from the Outer Rim, appearing on a Star Destroyer. The officer further conveyed that Empress Marasiah Fel was impressed by Solo's involvement in the rescue of Imperial Knight Yalta Val from the Carreras system and had requested Solo's presence before a formal assembly concerning the Triumvirate, which left Solo perplexed.
