The Marauder is a Republic Shield Assassin-class corvette that is currently assigned to the Greeop Defense Force.

History

The Marauder travelled to the outskirts of the Harnah system to rendezvous with the Star Destroyer Emancipator after the withdrawal of Imperial Victory Star Destroyers following a RS assault on Imperial supplies further in-system, led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus. (R2F703)

Arrived at the rendezvous point for RS forces before heading out to the Desdemona Sector to investigate reports of missing warships. Part of the force led by the Star Destroyer Liberator. Reinforced the Star Destroyer Prometheus’s forces at the rendezvous point, repulsing the Imperial invaders led by the Modified Frigate Pronota. (R2F800)

Part of RS forces led by the Modified Frigate Angelfire attempting to withdraw from the Havion system in the wake of an Imperial ambush on the Strike Cruiser Hammer of Justice. The Angelfire and its support ships had powered down all but essential systems while a navigational course out of the system could be plotted, to minimise attracting Imperial attention during the withdrawal. However, Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Impeccable discovered the forces, and led an attack force against the Angelfire and its accompanying vessels. RS forces intercepted the attacking forces, devastating the Imperial attack force, however the corvette Survivor was heavily damaged by overwhelming Imperial fire. Imperial forces began moving to intercept the RS force, however RS forces returned to the Angelfire, which then moved with the vessel to the hyperpoint marked by nav buoy B-18 and escaped from the Imperial attack force. (R2F903)

Part of RS task force led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus from the edge of the Havion system en route to Ostia VI when the Imperial Interdictor Snare wrenched the task force out of hyperspace, as part of an ambush by Imperial forces led by the Escort Carrier Swarm. Part of RS forces led by the Prometheus in a clash against the Imperial attackers, quickly turning the ambush around on the Imperial forces. RS forces bombarded the Escort Carrier Swarm, the Interdictor Snare and the platforms 2A3 and 2A4, disabling the stations and heavily damaging the Imperial command ships. Moved with the corvette Survivor to perform docking operations with the disabled platforms, while RS forces crushed the remaining Imperial resistance, destroying the Interdictor Snare and the Escort Carrier Swarm before they could limp from the combat zone. The vessel docked with the platform 2A3 while the corvette Survivor docked with the platform 2A4. RS forces patrolled the area while both corvettes successfully captured the Imperial stations. Helped co-ordinate security of the area while the captured outposts could be properly secured. (R2F904)

The vessel participated in the Battle of Blerthmore, and later became part of the small group of ships in the Greeop Defence Force left behind in the Greeop Sector to hold RS territories together while the Subterrel Strike Force waged war abroad.
