History
Stationed at the Centrino III Colony near the white ice planet (#39) Centrino III orbiting a white star with bright halo (#88) near a blue nebula (#68) during an attack on the colony by pirate raiding forces led by the Dreadnaught Shark. Unprepared for the pirate assault, the vessel was ineffective at providing adequate defence, with the meagre colony defence forces struggling to hold pirate forces at bay. However, Republic Shield forces arrived and rushed to the colony’s defence, driving back the pirate raiders, routing the assault and destroying the pirate command ship, the Dreadnaught Shark. Suffered extensive damage during the assault, as did the colony and supply depot, with major losses dealt to supply caches. (IBG601)
Carried crew during an attack on the Centrino III Colony by pirate forces led by the Dreadnaught Summoner. Led colony defence forces against the pirate attackers, however the pirate forces pounded the defences mercilessly, only slowed down in their assault slightly by the efforts of the colony defence force. However Republic Shield forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Resurrection II and backed up by the Strike Cruiser Dragon's Fire arrived to lend assistance to the besieged colony. Republic Shield forces joined the colony defences in engaging the pirate attack force. After an extensive battle, the colony defences were decimated, but the pirate attack force was largely broken by the intervening Republic Shield forces. The pirate attack on the colony had degenerated to an attempt to protect pirate forces from Republic Shield forces, but this ultimately proved futile. One after the other, pirate forces succumbed to Republic Shield forces’ merciless assaults, the Dreadnaughts Summoner, Calisto and Warpath joining the rest of the pirate forces in oblivion. (IBG603)
