Imperial vessel. Part of the Star Destroyer Impeccable’s task force.
History
Part of an Imperial attack force led by the Star Destroyer Impeccable against the Modified Frigate Angelfire and its support ships attempting to withdraw from the Havion system near navigation buoy B-18. Imperial forces moved to bombard the fleeing ships; however Republic Shield defence forces shattered the attack force stalling the Imperial advance on the Angelfire’s task force. The Republic Shield counter assault was costly, as the corvettes Quapaw I and Quapaw II were both heavily damaged. Imperial forces struck back, heavily damaging the corvette Survivor, however the outcome was draw, as Republic Shield forces were able to successfully fall back to the Modified Frigate Angelfire, as the Angelfire and its surviving forces reached the navigation buoy B-18 and escaped into hyperspace. (R2F903)
Part of Imperial task force led by the Star Destroyer Impeccable which was engaged by Republic Shield forces led by the Dreadnaught Cybrus. Imperial forces succeeded in driving off the Republic Shield attackers, and then followed the Star Destroyer Impeccable in close pursuit of the retreating task force. However the Republic Shield ploy was revealed to be a trap, as the Imperial task force was forcibly removed from hyperspace by the Interdictor Chains of Justice near a pair of space platforms, which had previously been under control by Imperial forces, and a large ambush force led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus. Imperial and Republic Shield forces joined in battle, Imperial forces attempting to disable the Chains of Justice’s interdiction field while Republic Shield forces attempted to destroy the Imperial task force. Both sides took damage, with Imperial forces victoriously neutralising the Dreadnaught Cybrus after it attempted to prevent the Interdictor Chains of Justice from being fired upon. After taking fairly severe losses, Republic Shield blocked Imperial attempts to take out the Chains of Justice and turned the attack force back onto itself, attempting the destroy the Imperial task force through attrition. This tactic was successful, as the corvettes Quapaw I and Quapaw II fell in defence of the Star Destroyer Impeccable, which then cut down the Imperial attack force significantly, allowing the vessel and the Impeccable to be accessed more readily by Republic Shield forces. The vessels steadily took on heavy levels of damage, with Republic Shield forces gaining the upper hand. In the midst of the Imperial defeat, the shuttle Bur'kla launched from the Star Destroyer Impeccable and attempted to make a run from the combat zone, however Republic Shield forces went out of their way to intercept and destroy it. Imperial forces were failing, but unable to escape due to the Chains of Justice’s interdiction field. Steadily the Imperial task force was defeated; however the vessel did help contribute to causing widespread damage to Republic Shield forces before succumbing to overwhelming fire. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (R2F905)
