Imperial vessel. Part of the Star Destroyer Battleking 's task force.

History

Part of Imperial ambush led by the corvette Partisan on the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm, which was trapped in an asteroid field that it had been navigating in pursuit of the Star Destroyer Battleking, which drew off the Windstorm 's escorts before signalling the ambush to commence. As the Battleking entered hyperspace the ambush commenced. The corvettes Partisan, Locust and Guardsman engaged the Windstorm from various angles, while the vessel dropped out of hyperspace directly in front of it and plowed headlong into the Calamari Cruiser's bulk. The ploy significantly injured the Windstorm, at the expense of the vessel's existence. Destroyed in the kamikaze manoeuvre. (PBF603)

Behind the Scenes
