History

Led an Imperial strike force against the battered Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator. However, Republic Shield forces held the Imperial attack forces at bay long enough for the task force to execute an orderly withdrawal from the combat zone, thwarting Imperial efforts somewhat. (R2F503)

Led Imperial forces in pursuit of Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator, which the Imperial force had on the run. The break-through came when the fleeing Republic Shield forces were pulled out of hyperspace by the Interdictor Claw. However while the vessel and its task force rushed to reinforce the Claw’s position, Republic Shield forces engaged the Interdictor, crippling it. By the time Imperial forces launched their assault against the Republic Shield force, the Claw’s interdiction field failed, allowing them to escape into hyperspace once more, prolonging the chase. (R2F504)

Led Imperial reinforcements in supporting the Victory Star Destroyer Alastor, as it led forward Imperial forces against Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator, who stood fast against the Imperial forces, refusing to retreat or yield. Imperial forces engaged Republic Shield forces, who fought back. Heavy casualties were taken on both sides, with the Frigates Gunship and Striker succumbing to Imperial fire, while the Victory Star Destroyer Alastor and the vessel were overwhelmed by Republic Shield forces. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (R2F506)
