Justifier
Imperial vessel, carrying assault gunboats. Part of the Star Destroyer Belligerent’s task force.
History
Part of an Imperial task force led by the Modified Frigate Hypnotic lying in wait near a yellow nebula (#101), hoping to ambush any Republic Shield forces heading to reinforce New Trassk Base. Successfully baited a Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal. However, the battle went awry for Imperial forces, as the Lancer Frigate Neutraliser’s reactor core was damaged in the battle, causing the entire ship to explode, and the vessel itself became disabled, its cargo of assault gunboats still awaiting launch in its hangar bays. A Republic Shield capture operation began on the Justifier, and the Modified Frigate Hypnotic withdrew from the engagement when it too came under fire, allowing Republic Shield forces to not only reinforce New Trassk Base, but also to capture the vessel and its contents. Boarded by commandos from the shuttle C'T-22DW and technicians from the shuttle C'T-21TM. Captured by the assault transport RSCD. (IBG407)
Refitted by Republic Shield forces and arrived at New Trassk Base during the major Imperial attack led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Delivered Imperial starfighters piloted by Republic Shield forces to the battle whilst remaining eclipsed by the platform, staying out of the primary engagement. Republic Shield defence forces co-ordinated by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist eventually broke through the Imperial line after an extensive battle, with the destruction of the Belligerent heralding Imperial defeat. The Imperial attack force was repulsed, and only the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator managed to escape from the engagement, albeit heavily damaged. (IBG408)
Relocated to a shipyard facility where it was refitted and renamed the Krayt. (IBG501)
