Imperial vessel. Part of the Star Destroyer Belligerent’s task force.
History
Present at the Star Destroyer Belligerent’s fleet buildup when the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator returned from its recovery mission of supplies from the mining installation Mine 12XFT-3. When Republic Shield forces followed the Dominator to the fleet buildup, the task force attempted to prevent their escape. However, Republic Shield forces managed to break free of the area and report back to their task force the location, size and composition of the Imperial fleet buildup. (IBG404)
Stationed with the Star Destroyer Belligerent’s task force when Republic Shield forces arrived and probed the fleet, then promptly withdrew, allowing a possible vector of origin to be plotted. Remained with the Belligerent when an Imperial contingent led by the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator was sent to pursue the intruder and neutralise it, while the vessel followed the Belligerent out of the system. (IBG405)
Witnessed by Republic Shield reconnaissance forces led by the Dreadnaught Resurrection near a pink nebula (#64) not far from New Trassk Base. The Imperial task force, led by the Victory Star Destroyer Reaver, was too far out to engage the Resurrection, which deftly entered hyperspace to continue its reconnaissance mission. (IBG406)
Part of Imperial task force led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent to New Trassk, and launched its forces in an attack upon Republic Shield forces in the area. Republic Shield defence forces had some initial successes, significantly thinning out the Imperial starfighter cover, and were then bolstered by the arrival of the Modified Frigate Celestial Fury. The opposing fleets were settled into battle configurations, and the Belligerent prepared to launch the main offensive against New Trassk Base. (IBG407)
Part of Imperial attack force led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent in an engagement against New Trassk Base and the defending Republic Shield forces, led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. The bulk of the defending forces were blocking the way to the platform, while other elements of the fleet surrounded the Imperial attack force, diffusing the focus of the attack. Joined with the Dreadnaught Eternity in directly engaging main defensive force protecting the platform, led by and including the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. The skirmish with the platform’s defending forces did not fare well, as Republic Shield forces hammered the two Dreadnaughts into submission. After an extensive battle the Imperial attack line was broken, allowing Republic Shield forces to concentrate their attacks on separated individual Imperial ships. As the Imperial flagship, the Belligerent was significantly targeted by Republic Shield forces, with its fall heralding the loss of almost the entire Imperial attack force. The Victory Star Destroyer Dominator was the only Imperial ship able to escape, albeit heavily damaged. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (IBG408)
