History
Led Imperial forces in pursuit of the transport company cargo ferry group Wanderer, who were en route to a meeting place with Republic Shield forces near a volcanic planet with asteroid ring (#95). The Interdictor Prohibitor prevented the convoy craft from escaping by powering up its gravity well generators, and also trapped more convoy craft in the area, along with an escort of Republic Shield and independent security forces. Attempted to engage cargo vessels, but was forced to deal with the attacking Republic Shield and independent security forces that were defending them. Sufficient damage to the vessel’s shields prompted a withdrawal from the system, reluctantly allowing the cargo convoy to proceed with Republic Shield forces. (IBG206)
Ambushed and detained by Republic Shield forces led by the Interdictor Chains of Justice, which powered up its gravity well generators, preventing the vessel from escaping the engagement. Imperial forces led by the vessel would have been enough to cripple the Chains of Justice and free the task force from the gravity well, but Republic Shield reinforcements led by the Dreadnaught Resurrection arrived to prevent that happening, and to bombard the vessel into submission. Despite the defence of Imperial forces, the ambush was a success. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (IBG207)
