    The Angelfire is a Republic Shield KDY EF76-B2 Nebulon-class escort frigate that is currently assigned to the Greeop Defence Force.

    History

    Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator that reinforced the repair dock DS-34, which was being assaulted by Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Xavior I. Republic Shield station defences had been holding back the Imperial assault, protecting the station from destruction until reinforcements arrived. Republic Shield forces repelled the incursion force, driving them off and destroying any Imperial forces that failed to flee. (R2F402)

    Underwent repairs at the platform DS-34 after sustaining heavy damage from supposedly-pirate forces. The Star Destroyer Liberator coordinated area defence around the vessel and the repair dock in anticipation of any retaliatory pirate attacks. The Liberator led Republic Shield forces against apparently-pirate forces led by the Star Destroyer Vermin. Republic Shield forces managed to hold off the attacking forces until the repair dock was evacuated, and the shuttle Tech docked with and repaired the vessel. The Liberator then laid waste to platform DS-34 to prevent it from falling into pirate or Imperial hands, and then followed the vessel as it led the retreat from the combat zone. (R2F404)

    Part of the Republic Shield attack force on the would-be-pirate Imperial convoy near communications satellite Stat-Com-3. Directly engaged the Escort Carrier Djinn, which was coordinating Imperial defence of the convoy. Destroyed the Djinn while Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator annihilated the convoy. (R2F406)

    Participated in a medical evacuation of the civilian platform Vornskr' DaV, which was being assaulted by an Imperial strike force which was led by Frigate groups Sprite and Switchblade. The Star Destroyer Liberator directly engaged the frigates while transport group Med-Runner shipped wounded civilians to the vessel. The evacuation was a success, and the Imperial forces were completely destroyed, however the platform was razed by Imperial forces before their demise. (R2F407)

    Delivered civilian wounded to the asteroid base Med Facility via the transport group Med-Runner, as part of a trap to lure the Star Destroyer Warstrike to an undefended, wounded target. Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Warstrike soon arrived and launched an assault against the vessel and the wounded civilians aboard the transport group Med-Runner. The Interdictor Rejuvenator engaged its interdiction field, preventing the Warstrike from withdrawing from the combat while the Star Destroyer Liberator led Republic Shield forces in an assault against the Imperial Star Destroyer. The wounded were successfully transferred to the asteroid hangar, and the Imperial forces were annihilated, the Warstrike perishing, unable to flee. (R2F408)

    After undergoing extensive repairs, the vessel returned to active duty to lead an aggressive Republic Shield investigative force of a suspected Imperial outpost reported by a neutral freighter deep in Republic Shield space. Confirmed the platform to be Imperial, and led Republic Shield forces in razing the outpost. Imperial reinforcements led by the Victory Star Destroyer Thrasher attempted to prevent the assault; however they only succeeded in slowing down the process and heavily damaging the vessel before withdrawing from the combat zone. (R2F501)

    Due to the extensive damage sustained by the vessel, Republic Shield forces set about taking control of the region by deposing the current Imperial governing offices and creating a Republic Shield outpost. To this end, the vessel was part of Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator in an assault against Imperial governing offices aboard the asteroid base Home. Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Thrasher defended the base; however they were unable to hold back the Republic Shield attack force, which razed the governing offices and the defensive infrastructure, crushing the defence forces in the process. (R2F502)

    After the successful but Pyrrhic victory against the regional Imperial governing offices, Republic Shield forces were significantly battered. Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Gigantes launched a strike against the harried Republic Shield forces. Republic Shield forces, led by the Star Destroyer Liberator, participated in an orderly withdrawal from the combat zone, and Republic Shield forces succeeded in holding Imperial forces at bay until the task force could escape from the Imperial trap. (R2F503)

    Pulled out of hyperspace, along with the rest of Republic Shield forces, by the Interdictor Claw. The Claw restrained Republic Shield forces while pursuing Imperial forces, led by the Star Destroyer Gigantes, rushed to reinforce the Interdictor's position and crush the task force. The Star Destroyer Liberator led Republic Shield forces in an assault against the Claw, in order to break free its interdiction field, to escape the pursuing Imperial force. However, Imperial reinforcements headed by the Star Destroyer Gigantes arrived, and launched an attack on Republic Shield forces. Before the Imperial task force could crush Republic Shield forces, the Interdictor Claw was successfully hulled, allowing hyperspace travel to continue undeterred. The vessel then followed the Liberator as it led Republic Shield forces from the combat zone, successfully withdrawing before Imperial forces could crush them. (R2F504)

    Took part in a resupply operation by an anti-Imperial faction led by the Escort Carrier Fish. Received supplies from transport Kappa I while Republic Shield forces co-ordinated perimeter defences and intercepted incoming Imperial attack forces. At the completion of the resupply operation, the vessel led Republic Shield forces in holding fast in preparation to do battle, as the Victory Star Destroyer Alastor entered the combat zone. (R2F505)

    Refusing to yield any more ground to Imperial forces, the Star Destroyer Liberator led Republic Shield forces in making a stand against the Imperial attack force led by the Victory Star Destroyer Alastor. Even when Imperial forces were reinforced by Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Gigantes, the vessel stood fast and Imperial and Republic Shield forces clashed in a bloody battle. Heavy casualties were taken on both sides, with the Victory Star Destroyer Alastor and the Star Destroyer Gigantes being defeated, at the cost of the Frigates Gunship and Striker. (R2F506)

    Defended against the joint Imperial-pirate assault upon the newly constructed Republic Shield base Dia Pas 1 in the Dia Pas system. (R2F603)

    Arrived at the Rendezvous point for Republic Shield forces before heading out into the Desdemona Sector to investigate reports of missing warships. Part of Sentinel task force led by the Star Destroyer Liberator. Reinforced the Star Destroyer Prometheus' forces at the rendezvous point, repulsing the Imperial invaders led by the Modified Frigate Pronota. (R2F800)

    Joined with the Star Destroyer Prometheus, the Strike Cruiser Hammer of Justice and Republic Shield forces to see General Leitbur aboard the shuttle Bur'kla safely from the Prometheus to the Greeop system. However, Imperial forces led by the Indominable entered the area and engaged the Prometheus and defending Republic Shield forces. While Republic Shield and Imperial forces engaged each other the shuttle Bur'kla unexpectedly flew to the Star Destroyer Indominable and entered its hangar. Imperial and Republic Shield forces continued battling while the Indominable withdrew from the combat zone immediately after the Bur'kla was safely aboard, stranding Imperial forces in the combat zone. The vessel helped co-ordinate the annihilation of the remaining Imperial forces. (R2F901)

    Led Republic Shield forces attempting to withdraw from the Havion system in the wake of an Imperial ambush on the Strike Cruiser Hammer of Justice. The vessel and its support ships had powered down all but essential systems while a navigational course out of the system could be plotted, to minimize attracting Imperial attention during the withdrawal. However, Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Impeccable discovered the task force, and led an attack force against the vessel. Republic Shield forces intercepted the attacking forces, devastating the Imperial attack force; however the corvette Survivor was heavily damaged by overwhelming Imperial fire. Imperial forces began moving to intercept the Republic Shield task force, however Republic Shield forces returned to the vessel, which then moved with the modified corvette Marauder and the corvette Survivor to the hyperpoint marked by navigation buoy B-18 and escaped from the Imperial attack force. (R2F903)

    Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus from the edge of the Havion system en route to Ostia VI when the Imperial Interdictor Snare wrenched the task force out of hyperspace, as part of an ambush by Imperial forces led by the Escort Carrier Swarm. Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Prometheus in a clash against the Imperial attackers, quickly turning the ambush around on the Imperial forces. Republic Shield forces bombarded the Escort Carrier Swarm, the Interdictor Snare and the platforms 2A3 and 2A4, disabling the stations and heavily damaging the Imperial command ships. The modified corvette Marauder and the corvette Survivor moved to perform docking operations with the disabled platforms, while Republic Shield forces crushed the remaining Imperial resistance, destroying the Interdictor Snare and the Escort Carrier Swarm before they could limp from the combat zone. The modified corvette Marauder docked with Platform 2A3 while the corvette Survivor docked with Platform 2A4. Republic Shield forces patrolled the area while both corvettes successfully captured the Imperial stations. Helped co-ordinate security of the area while the captured outposts could be properly secured. (R2F904)

    Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus stationed near the newly captured Imperial outpost, situated somewhere along the route between Havion system and Ostia VI. Part of a Republic Shield ambush facilitated by the Interdictor Chains of Justice and led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus against an Imperial task force led by the Star Destroyer Impeccable. Republic Shield forces led by the Dreadnaught Cybrus engaged the Imperial task force and lured it to the Chains of Justice's location, where Republic Shield forces were lying in wait for the Interdictor to engage its interdiction field and trap the Imperial task force. The Dreadnaught Cybrus and the Strike Cruiser Hammer of Justice, heavily battered from engaging Imperial forces, entered the area with the Imperial task force in fast pursuit. The Chains of Justice activated its interdiction field, forcing the Star Destroyer Impeccable's task force out of hyperspace a fair distance from the captured stations. Imperial and Republic Shield forces joined in battle, Imperial forces attempting to disable the Chains of Justice's interdiction field while Republic Shield forces attempted to destroy the Imperial task force. Both sides took damage, with the Dreadnaught Cybrus falling to Imperial fire. After taking fairly severe losses, Republic Shield forces were able to spare the Interdictor Chains of Justice from destruction and gradually destroy the Imperial task force through attrition. The corvettes Quapaw I and Quapaw II fell in defence of the Star Destroyer Impeccable, which proved to be in vain as the Impeccable and its support Frigate Gegenschein took on heavy damage. In the midst of the Imperial defeat, the shuttle Bur'kla launched from the beleaguered Impeccable and attempted to make a run from the combat zone. Republic Shield forces swiftly intercepted and destroyed the shuttle then concentrated their forces against the Impeccable and Gegenschein, destroying them both. The Imperial task force was defeated, with Republic Shield forces sustaining widespread damage. (R2F905)

    Modifications

    Many years of special attention from Chief Engineer "Bolts" Lemmon has resulted in a ship that can be patched up in roughly half the time of any other comparable starship in the fleet.


    Behind the Scenes

    The Angelfire was one of four ships, along with the Prometheus, Hammer of Justice and Chains of Justice that were transferred to the Patriot Battle Fleet with Retribution Wing (R2W, previously R2F). It was chosen because of its long history in the R2F, housing one of its top squadrons, Wraith Squadron.

    Before Retribution's downgrading from fleet to wing status it was a support ship for the RSSD Emancipator in Storm Wing.
