    History

    Based near a dark grey rocky planet (#17) orbiting an old white star (#85). Left staging area as part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist in an attempted strike against the Admiral Turon’s Golan III station Deserter, based near a white star with blue halo (#90). However, the unexpected presence of a Super Star Destroyer prompted the fleet to abandon the assault and withdraw from the system to a new rendezvous location. (Blade102)

    Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist in assault on Imperial shipyards near a red planet (#28) on the edge of Imperial space. Shipyards and facilities were completely destroyed, and the Victory Star Destroyer Trebuchet was driven off, allowing the Interdictor Silencer to be captured by Republic Shield forces. (IBG102)

    Present at the build-up near a blue and green planet (#53) orbiting an old red star (#86) during a Republic Shield assault on nearby Imperial patrol. (IBG103)

    Present at the build-up when the fleet came under Imperially-funded pirate attack by mercenary forces led by the Frigate Xenesis. (IBG104)

    Present at the build-up near a cloudy planet (#9) on the edge of a green dust nebula (#66) during a Republic Shield undercover information-retrieval mission by the assault transport Lambda. (IBG105)

    Part of the Tarla Strike Force assault against the Imperial Super Star Destroyer Tyrannic and its supporting fleet at an Imperial construction facility near a blue and brown planet (#26) orbiting a white star (#91) on the edge of a blue nebula (#68), led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Launched fighters and steered clear of the main engagement. In the aftermath of the battle, relocated to the rendezvous point near a blue and black gas planet (#34). (IBG106)

    Present at the fleet build-up near a cloudy planet (#9) during a Republic Shield recovery mission of a supply convoy, which was in the process of being captured by Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Sustainer before the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist’s forces disabled and captured the Star Destroyer, and rescued the convoy. (IBG107)

    Present at the fleet build-up near a blue and brown planet (#46) and a blue nebula (#68) during Republic Shield assault on the Jardal pirate base. (IBG108)

    Present at the build-up near a murky orange planet (#33) orbiting a white star with blue halo (#90) during a failed supply raid by Republic Shield forces that were lured into an Imperial trap by survivors of the Jardal pirates, who escaped during the battle. (IBG109)

    Rendezvoused with the Calamari Cruiser Ad Astra’s task force near a blue and white planet (#36) orbiting an old white star (#85), after the last of the Imperial outposts barring the way to the planet Tarla Minor and its shipyards were destroyed. (IBG110)

    Part of the Interdictor Senate’s defensive escort that remained behind on the edge of the Tarla system while the rest of the fleet headed in to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. (IBG111)

    Stationed at the fleet build-up near the planet Tarla Minor while Republic Shield reconnaissance forces attempted to locate the escaped Super Star Destroyer Patriarch. A number of locations were scouted, including a zone near a red nebula (#73) and a cloudy planet (#9), but the Patriarch was finally located at a TIE Defender manufacturing facility near a purple planet (#52) orbiting a blue star (#89). Moved with the entire fleet to that location to begin the assault on the Super Star Destroyer. The Interdictor Senate prevented Imperial forces from evading the onslaught, as the rest of the fleet moved in. The Imperial forces had formed into layers of defence around the Patriarch, with outer perimeter forces covering the inner defences, which in turn covered the Super Star Destroyer. Provided close defensive escort for the Interdictor Senate, preventing Imperial forces from escaping, while other elements of the fleet pushed in close enough to bombard and destroy the Patriarch directly. (IBG112)

    Part of Republic Shield task force relocated to the intended site of a new base in the Cadrel Expanse. Encountered Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Glady near a white planet (#19), which seemed to be escorting an Imperial convoy. Part of Republic Shield forces that assaulted the Imperial forces, leading to the destruction of the convoy’s escorts, and the capture of the Imperial freight vessels. (IBG201)

    Stationed near a red nebula (#98) in the Cadrel Expanse, launched Republic Shield forces to investigate Imperial presence in the nearby Elornia system. The reconnaissance force discovered an Imperial platform, some freighters carrying equipment and nearby containers full of food and weapons. (IBG202)

    Based near a red nebula (#98) while acting as a launching platform for Republic Shield forces who travelled to the Elornia system to assault the Imperial base stationed there. The assaulting force destroyed the Imperial outpost, and supporting ships, while forcing the Star Destroyer Sake and the Victory Star Destroyer Mashury to withdraw from the system. (IBG203)

    Escorted convoy craft from the Elornia system to the planet New Trassk, via an Imperial system with a ***black and red thing*** (#49). Defended against Imperial attack by forces led by the Star Destroyer Dark Hand. Protected convoy vessels as they passed through the system to the hyperspace point, and followed them to a safe arrival at the planet New Trassk. (IBG204)

    Reinforced Republic Shield forces defending the New Trassk Base station, which had fallen under Imperial attack. Beat back the Imperial attack, destroying the modified corvette Imp, the Dreadnaught Gore, the Victory Star Destroyer Decapitator and all accompanying Imperial forces. (IBG205)

    Stationed at the New Trassk Base during resupply operation by transport company vessels, escorted by Republic Shield and independent security forces. (IBG206)

    Stationed at the New Trassk Base while Republic Shield forces led by the Dreadnaught Resurrection reinforced Republic Shield forces led by the Interdictor Chains of Justice in an operation to destroy the Victory Star Destroyer Dark Menace. (IBG207)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield reconnaissance mission through surrounding areas, which resulted in an Imperial ambush just outside the Osiris Sector. (IBG209)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during the data transfer operation from the shuttle Tru'lak to the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Defended against an attack on the Tru’lak by Rolian Fanatics, and allowed to the transfer to be completed successfully. (IBG301)

    Part of Republic Shield forces who oversaw and safeguarded the evacuation of Rolian evacuees from a doomed aqua planet (#12) orbiting a star about to go supernova (#11). Defended against Rolian Fanatics who attempted to thwart the evacuation operation, due to zealous religious beliefs about the necessity for all Rolian people to die with their star. (IBG302)

    Helped in the evacuation efforts of the Rolian system while also leading defensive measures in the region, when Republic Shield forces led the first wave of evacuation craft out of the system. (IBG303)

    Part of Republic Shield force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist escorting the massive exodus convoy of vessels evacuating from the doomed Rolian system. Followed the Rebel Fist briefly into an ambush by Rolian Fanatics as a feint, and then ‘retreated’ further out from the system, where awaiting Republic Shield forces led by the gunships Daunter, Daze, Bayonet, and Nova flanked the attacking forces, while the Republic Shield main fleet ships led by the vessel created a defensive perimeter around the evacuation vessels. Republic Shield forces led by the gunships defeated the attacking Rolian Fanatics force. (IBG304)

    Present at the fleet build-up in the Vectain system during the Imperial massacre of a supply convoy en route, led by the Star Destroyer Thunderous possibly tipped off by Rolian Fanatics. (IBG305)

    Possibly en route to New Trassk Base after safely delivering the Rolian refugees to their new permanent home, featured during a Republic Shield simulation which featured this vessel. During the simulation of an attack on New Trassk Base, the vessel was featured as part of the fleet build-up near a yellow and grey gas planet (#38) and a blue and black gas planet (#34) while en route to the station while Republic Shield forces travelled ahead to arrive home early. (IBG401)

    Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield rescue mission to reclaim captured convoy craft who had fallen under Imperial attack. Present when the convoy arrived safely at New Trassk Base. (IBG402)

    Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield investigation operation searching for the point of origin of the Imperial Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, headed by the assault transport Nightwolf. Present when the Nightwolf returned to New Trassk Base to report its findings. (IBG403)

    Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal to investigate asteroid mining facility Mine 12XFT-3 near a brown planet (#5) for Imperial involvement. Discovered the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator leading a reclamation effort of supplies from the facility, but withdrew before Republic Shield forces engage it. Held position near the mining facility while Republic Shield forces pursued the Dominator, which had returned to its task force, led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Republic Shield forces managed to escape from the Imperial fleet build-up and report back to the Chiin’tal’s task force with news of the Imperial armada, after a brief stopover in a region of space near asteroid field (#96) and a supernova remnant (#93). (IBG404)

    Moved with Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Chiin’tal from the mining facility Mine 12XFT-3 to a region of space with a view of a spiral galaxy (#76), in order to lure Imperial forces to engage the fleet in the region instead of leading them back to New Trassk Base. Republic Shield forces launched from the vessel and probed the Imperial fleet build-up led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent, and then returned to the Republic Shield task force, luring a contingent of Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator to the Republic Shield task force. Spearheaded an attack against the Imperial task force, contributing to the destruction of the Carrack Cruisers Vargus and Vigilant, and the Frigate Enforcer. The Victory Star Destroyer Dominator was heavily damaged in the attack, but it withdrew from the battle, preventing its destruction. The victory took four capital ships of the Belligerent’s fleet out of commission, but the battle had its own losses — the gunships Daunter and Daze reinforced Republic Shield forces, and both ships were lost in the confrontation. (IBG405)

    Defended New Trassk Base from Imperial strike force led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Participated in the defences during the battle, which were co-ordinated and led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Joined with the Light Calamari Cruiser Madron in directly engaging the Victory Star Destroyers Suppressor and Reaver, leading to the Imperial vessels’ destruction. After an extensive battle the Imperial attack line was broken, allowing the separated capital ships to be picked off easier. The destruction of the Belligerent heralded the defeat of the attack force, and the Imperial forces attempted to withdraw. The majority of the Imperial attack forces were destroyed, the only exception being the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, which managed to escape with extensive damage. (IBG408)

    Stationed at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield search mission for the damaged Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, which was the only surviving party in the ill-fated Star Destroyer Belligerent’s attack force annihilated in the battle upon the station. Guarded the station while the expeditionary force tracked down the Dominator and captured it. (IBG409)

    Part of Republic Shield defensive efforts led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist against an Imperial attack upon New Trassk Base. Fought against the invading forces, aiding in their complete destruction, preventing them from destroying the station. (IBG501)

    Stationed at the Republic Shield fleet build-up while a task force investigated the location of a suspected Imperial outpost. The task force made contact with Imperial forces, reinforced by the Star Destroyer Parallax, and so Republic Shield reinforcements led by the Strike Cruiser Dragon's Fire left the build-up to directly engage the Star Destroyer. The reinforcements soon returned to the build-up extremely battered while other elements continued to raze the Imperial outpost and defending forces. (IBG504)

    Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Titan stationed with a convoy near an old orange star (#84). Waited in the staging area while the convoy and a light escort travelled to the ambush point near an aqua gas planet (#51) and lured Imperial forces to the area. Followed the Titan into the combat zone and ambushed the Imperial task force led by the Frigate Invader. The Imperial task force was completely caught off-guard by the ambush and were readily overwhelmed. Held close to the convoy to protect it from Imperial attacks and backed up the main attack force in hammering Imperial forces that strayed too close to the vessel. Even the arrival of the Super Star Destroyer Patriarch further out from the combat zone could not save the Imperial task force, as it promptly withdrew before the Imperial forces were defeated. Republic Shield forces completely defeated the Imperial forces caught in the ambush, and most of the convoy safely proceeded to their hyper points. (IBG505)

    Launched a Republic Shield reconnaissance from the vessel’s staging area near a supernova remnant (#93) to the blue cloud planet (#47) Theseus in the Oberon system, where the Super Star Destroyer Patriarch’s task force was stationed. The reconnaissance force successfully scanned each of the Imperial capital ships, and then returned to the staging area as the Imperial ships abandoned their position above the planet. (IBG506)

    Led Republic Shield forces from an orange gas planet (#1) to a raid on an Imperial supply depot near an asteroid field (#61) (#96). Republic Shield forces clashed with Imperial defenders from the cargo facility Dein and the Victory Star Destroyer Revenger II. Republic Shield forces scanned the contents of the supply cache, and discovered cargo of supplies, ammunition, uniforms, warheads, armour and advanced weapons. Launched the assault transport Storm, and the Strike Frigate Idiot's Array launched heavy lifter group Echo to attempt a capture operation of various cargo containers. Xityar transport group Sole entered the combat zone and attacked Republic Shield forces attempting to liberate Imperial cargo. Republic Shield forces successfully defended the capture craft, destroying the Xityar transport group Sole and engaging the rest of the Imperial defences. The Victory Star Destroyer Revenger II moved in to lead Imperial forces against the Republic Shield capture force, but the vessel led Republic Shield forces against the attacking forces, giving the assault transport Storm time to return to the vessel with its captured cargo, and the heavy lifter group Echo time to return to the Strike Frigate Idiot’s Array. The main objectives completed, the vessel led Republic Shield forces in the annihilation of Imperial defences, as well as razing the cargo facility Dein and bombarding the Revenger II into oblivion. (IBG508)

    Present at the Republic Shield staging area near a blue gas planet (#7) during Republic Shield operation to defend a neutral colony near the white ice planet (#39) Centrino III from attacks by pirate raiding forces. Launched Republic Shield forces that travelled to the defence of the colony. Present when Republic Shield forces completed their mission and returned to the vessel. (IBG601)

    Reinforced Republic Shield forces led by the Strike Frigate Idiot’s Array in an investigation of a freight convoy bound for a construction project in the Outer Rim. Republic Shield forces had intercepted the convoy near an aqua gas planet (#51), and executed a search of the craft for any pirate presence. The escorting SafeTrans Inc. security force led by the corvette group Swiftwind reacted badly to the intrusion, and opened fire on the investigative force. The vessel arrived whilst Republic Shield forces were attempting to evade the attacks by the security forces, and scan the remainder of the Starfreight Inc. ships. Meanwhile, the corvette group Swiftwind led a reckless assault, directly engaging the Strike Frigate Idiot’s Array, which dutifully exchanged fire with them. The vessel led Republic Shield reinforcements against the hostile security forces, and one by one the zealous corvettes were set aflame. While the vessel was busy battling the security forces, Republic Shield forces had located pirates aboard several ships in the HyperSped Inc. contingent of the convoy. Republic Shield forces disabled the offending pirate ships, and the assault transports Commandos I, Commandos II and Commandos III arrived with boarding parties to capture the disabled convoy ships. Pirate reinforcements led by the Frigate Tra'cor failed to prevent the capture operations, and in desperation launched assaults on the captured craft themselves. Republic Shield forces protected the seized ships while they limped from the combat zone, and the vessel helped abate the threat presented by the remaining pirate and security forces. After the captured pirates were safely away, the remaining hostile forces were neutralised, including the destruction of the pirate Frigate Tra’cor. Withdrew with the Strike Frigate Idiot’s Array from the area, presumably to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet, along with the captured pirate craft. (IBG602)
