Sperrion
Republic Shield vessel.
History
Part of a convoy used to lure an Imperial task force into an ambush by Republic Shield forces. Travelled from the Republic Shield staging area near an old orange star (#84) to the ambush point near an aqua gas planet (#51). Attracted a sizable Imperial task force led by the Frigate Invader. Republic Shield forces engaged the Imperial task force, and reinforcements led by the Assault Frigate Titan assaulted the Imperial forces, catching them off-guard and overwhelming them. Even the arrival of the Super Star Destroyer Blade further out from the combat zone could not save the Imperial task force, as it promptly withdrew before the Imperial forces were defeated. Republic Shield forces completely defeated the Imperial forces caught in the ambush, and the vessel presumably made it into hyperspace safely. (IBG505)
