Krayt
Republic Shield vessel. Originally the Imperial Escort Carrier Justifier, captured by Republic Shield forces.
History
Arrived near a volcanic planet with asteroid ring (#95) to reinforce Republic Shield forces escorting a vital supply convoy which had become ambushed by Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Predator. Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Liberator that bolstered the defence of the convoy, as well as striking at the Imperial task force, specifically the Interdictor Shadow Hawk, which was forced to withdraw. The withdrawal of the Interdictor allowed the convoy to escape to hyperspace, which in turn caused the remaining Imperial forces to abandon the assault and depart from the combat zone. The arrival of the Super Star Destroyer Blade prevented any thoughts of an immediate retaliatory strike on the departed Imperial forces, and the Super Star Destroyer’s mere presence was sufficient to drive the vessel and all accompanying forces from the combat zone.
