History
Part of an Imperial attack force led by the Victory Star Destroyer Kingpin in an assault against a New Republic Defence Fleet task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Valiant. Imperial forces succeeded in disabling the Valiant and battering the remainder of the task force before Republic Shield reinforcements interfered with the Imperial assault, aiding in the defence of New Republic forces, and began to abate the Imperial attack. Joined the Frigate Blind Fury in directly engaging the Strike Cruiser Lore. The arrival of Republic Shield reinforcements in the form of the Frigate Unforgiven and the Strike Cruiser Kayak bolstered New Republic defences, and New Republic and Republic Shield forces rallied to the Unforgiven to strike back at the Imperial attack force. One by one the Imperial ships were defeated, the Kingpin disabled through attack runs by the assault transport group Strike. Imperial reinforcements delivered to the combat zone by the Strike Cruiser Capricorn and the Frigate Taurus only succeeded in distracting attention, and helped slow the Imperial defeat. But as the Capricorn and Taurus withdrew from the engagement after delivering reinforcements, the battle was unwinnable, and the Imperial attack force was crushed. Destroyed by New Republic and Republic Shield forces. (RgF401)
