    History

    Part of a New Republic Defence Fleet task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Valiant, which came under attack by Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Kingpin. Directly engaged the Frigates Killdeer and Blind Fury. Republic Shield forces responded to the New Republic distress call, and defended the task force, engaging the Imperial task force. The arrival of Republic Shield reinforcements in the form of the Frigate Unforgiven and the Strike Cruiser Kayak realised victory in the battle, destroying the Imperial task force and capturing the Imperial command ship. Imperial reinforcements delivered to the combat zone by the Strike Cruiser Capricorn and the Frigate Taurus were also repulsed, securing the area from Imperial interloping forces. However the victory was not without price, as several of the New Republic craft were destroyed in the confrontation, including the corvette Solaris II. (RgF401)

    Part of New Republic task force led by the Strike Cruiser Sulu stationed at the newly captured platform Katana while the Frigate Corinne oversaw repair operations on the station. New Republic sentries were relieved by the arrival of Republic Shield forces. The arrival of New Republic forces desperately requesting reinforcements for its parent task force prompted the withdrawal of the standing defences, as the New Republic task force led by the Strike Cruiser Sulu quickly withdrew from the area to the aid the besieged forces. Part of the Sulu’s task force that unwittingly fell into an Imperial trap. (RgF404)

    Followed the Strike Cruiser Sulu in an attempt to break free of the Imperial ambush that the task force had been lured into. The battle was not going in the New Republic’s favour, as by the time assistance arrived all of the warships in the task force had lost operational defensive shields. The arrival of the Victory Star Destroyer Overseer promised a chance at survival, as the Overseer led Republic Shield forces against the Imperial attack forces. However, this did not prevent Imperial forces from disabling the vessel and launching a capture operation in an attempt to seize the vessel. A boarding party aboard the transport Pincer II attempted to board the vessel; however Republic Shield forces destroyed the capture craft before such an operation could be completed. The Victory Star Destroyer Overseer co-ordinated the defence of the battered New Republic task force, cutting down any further attempts by Imperial forces to capture the New Republic vessels. However, the Strike Cruiser Sulu was not as fortunate as the vessel, as the Calamari Cruiser Sagittarius bombarded the Sulu to its destruction. The assault transport group Celia launched from the Victory Star Destroyer Overseer and carried repair crews to each of the disabled vessels, to help restore operational systems and allow the remnants of the task force to escape from the combat zone. A vessel from the assault transport Celia successfully docked and restored power to the vessel, allowing it to limp from the engagement zone and enter the relative safety of hyperspace, along with the Frigates Corinne and Eidolon. However, the rescue of the task force came at a great price, as a second Imperial task force ambushed the Overseer in turn, overwhelming and capturing the Victory Star Destroyer. (RgF405)
