    History

    Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist in assault on Imperial shipyards near a red planet (#28) on the edge of Imperial space. Shipyards and facilities were completely destroyed, and the Victory Star Destroyer Trebuchet was driven off, allowing the Interdictor Silencer to be captured by Republic Shield forces. (IBG102)

    Present at the build-up near a blue and green planet (#53) orbiting an old red star (#86) during a Republic Shield assault on nearby Imperial patrol. (IBG103)

    Present at the build-up when the fleet came under Imperially-funded pirate attack by mercenary forces led by the Frigate Xenesis. (IBG104)

    Present at the build-up near a cloudy planet (#9) on the edge of a green dust nebula (#66) during a Republic Shield undercover information-retrieval mission by the assault transport Lambda. (IBG105)

    Part of the Tarla Strike Force assault against the Imperial Super Star Destroyer Tyrannic and its supporting fleet at an Imperial construction facility near a blue and brown planet (#26) orbiting a white star (#91) on the edge of a blue nebula (#68), led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Engaged enemy Star Destroyers. In the aftermath of the battle, relocated to the rendezvous point near a blue and black gas planet (#34). (IBG106)

    Present at the fleet build-up near a cloudy planet (#9) during a Republic Shield recovery mission of a supply convoy, which was in the process of being captured by Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Sustainer before the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist’s forces disabled and captured the Star Destroyer, and rescued the convoy. (IBG107)

    Present at the fleet build-up near a blue and brown planet (#46) and a blue nebula (#68) during Republic Shield assault on the Jardal pirate base. (IBG108)

    Present at the build-up near a murky orange planet (#33) orbiting a white star with blue halo (#90) during a failed supply raid by Republic Shield forces that were lured into an Imperial trap by survivors of the Jardal pirates, who escaped during the battle. (IBG109)

    Rendezvoused with the Calamari Cruiser Ad Astra’s task force near a blue and white planet (#36) orbiting an old white star (#85), after the last of the Imperial outposts barring the way to the planet Tarla Minor and its shipyards were destroyed. (IBG110)

    Part of the Interdict Senate’s defensive escort that remained behind on the edge of the Tarla system while the rest of the fleet headed in to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. (IBG111)

    Stationed at the fleet build-up near the planet Tarla Minor while Republic Shield reconnaissance forces attempted to locate the escaped Super Star Destroyer Patriarch. A number of locations were scouted, including a zone near a red nebula (#73) and a cloudy planet (#9), but the Patriarch was finally located at a TIE Defender manufacturing facility near a purple planet (#52) orbiting a blue star (#89). Moved with the entire fleet to that location to begin the assault on the Super Star Destroyer. The Interdictor Senate prevented Imperial forces from evading the onslaught, as the rest of the fleet moved in. The Imperial forces had formed into layers of defence around the Patriarch, with outer perimeter forces covering the inner defences, which in turn covered the Super Star Destroyer. Directly engaged perimeter defence group consisting of the Strike Cruiser Ravage and the Interdictors Blue Lightning and Flashfire. Also directly engaged the TIE Defender manufacturing facilities. Concentrated efforts on the surrounding perimeter forces to allow other elements of the fleet to bombard and destroy the Patriarch directly. (IBG112)

    Part of Republic Shield task force relocated to the intended site of a new base in the Cadrel Expanse. Encountered Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Glady near a white planet (#19), which seemed to be escorting an Imperial convoy. Part of Republic Shield forces that assaulted the Imperial forces, leading to the destruction of the convoy’s escorts, and the capture of the Imperial freight vessels. (IBG201)

    Present near a white planet (#19) in the Elornia system while Republic Shield forces escorted convoy craft from the Elornia system to the planet New Trassk, via an Imperial system with a ***black and red thing*** (#49). Present near the planet New Trassk, when convoy arrived with construction equipment and supplies for the establishment of new base. (IBG204)

    Stationed at the New Trassk Base during resupply operation by transport company vessels, escorted by Republic Shield and independent security forces. (IBG206)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during the data transfer operation from the shuttle Tru'lak to the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Defended against an attack on the Tru’lak by Rolian Fanatics, and allowed to the transfer to be completed successfully. (IBG301)

    Part of Republic Shield forces who oversaw and safeguarded the evacuation of Rolian evacuees from a doomed aqua planet (#12) orbiting a star about to go supernova (#11). Defended against Rolian Fanatics who attempted to thwart the evacuation operation, due to zealous religious beliefs about the necessity for all Rolian people to die with their star. (IBG302)

    Helped in the evacuation efforts of the Rolian system while also leading defensive measures in the region, when Republic Shield forces led the first wave of evacuation craft out of the system. (IBG303)

    Part of Republic Shield force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist escorting the massive exodus convoy of vessels evacuating from the doomed Rolian system. Followed the Rebel Fist briefly into an ambush by Rolian Fanatics as a feint, and then ‘retreated’ further out from the system, where awaiting Republic Shield forces led by the gunships Daunter, Daze, Bayonet, and Nova flanked the attacking forces, while the Republic Shield main fleet ships led by the vessel created a defensive perimeter around the evacuation vessels. Republic Shield forces led by the gunships defeated the attacking Rolian Fanatics force. (IBG304)

    Present at the fleet build-up in the Vectain system during the Imperial massacre of a supply convoy en route, led by the Star Destroyer Thunderous possibly tipped off by Rolian Fanatics. (IBG305)

    Possibly en route to New Trassk Base after safely delivering the Rolian refugees to their new permanent home during a Republic Shield simulation that featured this vessel. During the simulation of an attack on New Trassk Base, the vessel was featured as part of the fleet build-up near a yellow and grey gas planet (#38) and a blue and black gas planet (#34) while en route to the station while Republic Shield forces travelled ahead to arrive home early. (IBG401)

    Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield rescue mission to reclaim captured convoy craft who had fallen under Imperial attack. Present when the convoy arrived safely at New Trassk Base. (IBG402)

    Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield investigation operation searching for the point of origin of the Imperial Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, headed by the assault transport Nightwolf. Present when the Nightwolf returned to New Trassk Base to report its findings. (IBG403)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield investigation of suspected Imperial mining facility Mine 12XFT-3, led by the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal. (IBG404)

    Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield reconnaissance mission, led by the Dreadnaught Resurrection. The mission was a success, with Imperial forces discovered in all surrounding sectors; however, the Resurrection was lost in an Imperial ambush. (IBG406)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base while waiting for Republic Shield reinforcements led by the Assault Frigate Chiin’tal. The Strike Cruiser Dragon's Fire led reinforcements to the system instead of the Chiin’tal, and moments later the imminent Imperial attack force arrived. The task force, led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent, entered the system and launched forces in an attack on Republic Shield forces in the area. Republic Shield forces clashed with the attacking Imperial forces, and succeeded in thinning out the Imperial starfighter cover. Republic Shield reinforcements led by the Modified Frigate Celestial Fury arrived to contribute to the system’s defences, in preparation for the primary assault that the Imperial forces were moments away from delivering. (IBG407)

    Part of the main defensive force protecting New Trassk Base from Imperial strike force led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Participated in the defences during the battle, which were co-ordinated and led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Protectively flanked by the gunships Bayonet and Nova. After an extensive battle the Imperial attack line was broken, allowing the separated capital ships to be picked off easier. The destruction of the Belligerent heralded the defeat of the attack force, and the Imperial forces attempted to withdraw. The majority of the Imperial attack forces were destroyed, the only exception being the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, which managed to escape with extensive damage. (IBG408)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield search mission for the damaged Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, which was the only surviving party in the ill-fated Star Destroyer Belligerent’s attack force annihilated in the battle upon the station. Guarded the station while the expeditionary force tracked down the Dominator and captured it. (IBG409)

    Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Titan stationed with a convoy near an old orange star (#84). Waited in the staging area while the convoy and a light escort travelled to the ambush point near an aqua gas planet (#51) and lured Imperial forces to the area. Followed the Titan into the combat zone and ambushed the Imperial task force led by the Frigate Invader. The Imperial task force was completely caught off-guard by the ambush and were readily overwhelmed. Directly engaged the Imperial formation at point-blank range, assaulting the modified corvette Suppression, the Dreadnaughts Infiltrator and Thunderclap, and even the Strike Cruiser Tornado. Even the arrival of the Super Star Destroyer Blade further out from the combat zone could not save the Imperial task force, as it promptly withdrew before the Imperial forces were defeated. Republic Shield forces completely defeated the Imperial forces caught in the ambush, and most of the convoy safely proceeded to their hyper points. (IBG505)
