    History

    Part of the assault and capture operation led by the Star Destroyer Sustainer against supply convoy en route to massive fleet buildup in the aftermath of the destruction of the Super Star Destroyer Tyrannic, its accompanying fleet and the surrounding shipyards. Prevented the convoy from entering hyperspace, whilst forces from the Sustainer began a capture operation, by disabling all of the convoy vessels, until a Republic Shield search party, led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist interrupted and struck back at the Imperial forces, driving off the Blue Lightning and disabling the Sustainer. Withdrew from the combat zone, allowing the convoy to be recaptured and sacrificing the command ship Sustainer to Republic Shield forces. (IBG107)

    Part of the Super Star Destroyer Patriarch’s escort detail, who accompanied it out of the Tarla system when a massive task force led by the Star Destroyer Redemption arrived to lay siege to the planet and shipyards. The Patriarch’s task force’s departure lessened the resistance to the attack, and ensured Imperial defeat in the system. (IBG111)

    Part of the Super Star Destroyer Patriarch’s defending forces at TIE Defender manufacturing facility near a purple planet (#52) orbiting a blue star (#89). The Tarla Strike Force, which had just laid waste to the Tarla Minor Shipyards arrived to do battle with Imperial forces, with the Interdictor Senate preventing Imperial forces from evading the onslaught. Stationed as outermost perimeter defence craft, through which the attack forces had to push before being able to get close to the Patriarch. Directly engaged by the Strike Cruisers Blood Fang and Dragon's Fire. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces, allowing the Patriarch to be destroyed. (IBG112)
