Republic Shield vessel. Originally the Imperial Interdictor Silencer, captured by Republic Shield forces.
History
After being refitted at the Sluis Van Shipyards, returned to reinforce the fleet build-up preparing to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. Arrived at the build-up just after the fleet fought off 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. First among the capital ships to arrive, the vessel prevented any enemy craft to escape the coming assault by powering up its gravity well generators. Steered clear of the primary engagement when the rest of the fleet arrived. 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)
Led Republic Shield forces in a capture operation near the green and white planet Ellor. Pulled three neutral vessels passing through to the nearby planet out of hyperspace, so that Republic Shield forces could scan the ships for suspected Imperial spies. The spies were located, and the vessel captured by the assault transport Rep. Defended against attack from Imperial forces led by the modified corvette Ice. (R2F605)
Acting on information gleaned from the Sustainer’s databanks which implicated the Jardal pirates of further collaboration with Imperial forces, assisted the Dreadnaught Resurrection in an assault on the pirate base. The pirate defences were too strong to be assaulted, and so the attacking forces withdrew. Republic Shield reinforcements headed by the refitted Star Destroyer Redemption covered the Resurrection and Senate’s withdrawal from the system. Returned to the fleet build-up near a blue and brown planet (#46) and a blue nebula (#68) while the Redemption renewed the assault on the 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)
Remained behind on the edge of the Tarla system with escorts 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 Senate powered up its gravity well generators, preventing 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. The Senate stayed out of the main conflict, protected by its close escort, preventing the Imperial vessels from escaping while other elements of the fleet pushed in close enough to bombard and destroy the Patriarch directly. (IBG112)
Arrived at the Rendezvous point for Republic Shield forces far in the Outer Rim before heading out into the Desdemona Sector to investigate reports of missing warships. Came under attack by Imperial forces led by the Modified Frigate Pronota. Part of Retribution task force led by Star Destroyer Prometheus. Entered hyperspace to jump further ahead of the main fleet, before Sentinel task force had arrived. (R2F800)
