    Imperial vessel. Part of the Imperial fleet stationed in the Desdemona Sector, led by a Warlord aboard the Star Destroyer Indomitable.

    History

    Stationed at the main Imperial fleet in the Desdemona Sector when attacked by a Republic Shield forces led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus. Imperial forces were soon flanked by a second task force led by the Frigate Vespia, and the Interdictor Chains of Justice engaged its gravity well projectors, preventing the vessel from escaping, and heralding a major fleet conflict. However, Abandon forces led by the Strike Cruiser Nightshade, allies of the Warlord, spontaneously changed allegiances at the beginning of the battle, forming a third barrier closing upon Imperial forces. Imperial, Abandon and Republic Shield forces clashed, and the Interdictor Chains of Justice was forced to withdraw from the engagement, allowing the Star Destroyer Indomitable to prepare to escape, using the vessel and the three other corvettes to block enemy fire. However, Republic Shield forces outmanoeuvred Imperial forces, bringing down the Indomitable, and routing the Imperial fleet. Destroyed by Republic Shield and Abandon forces. (R2F802)
