Imperial vessel.

History

Led an Imperial capture operation against the Frigate Shay's Honour, which was disabled near the volcanic moon (#11) of a blue planet (#10) orbiting an old orange star (#84). The assault transport group Extractor moved ahead to directly board and capture the disabled frigate, while the vessel dealt with the more immediate threat presented by the Republic Shield reclamation force led by the Strike Cruiser Dragon's Fire. The battle between the vessel and Republic Shield forces was surprisingly brief, as the Dragon’s Fire and the Strike Frigate Idiot's Array directly engaged the vessel, overpowering it, and causing irreparable damage that led to a fiery explosion that consumed the entire vessel. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (IBG502)

Behind the Scenes

This ship is borrowed from Official Continuity. It was commanded by Captain Akal Zed during its assignment to Imperial Supreme Commander Darth Vader’s Death Squadron fleet, where it took part in the search for secret Rebel Alliance bases. The ship has the dubious honour of launching the Viper probe droid that located the Rebel Alliance’s base on Hoth, precipitating the Imperial invasion that was to follow. Its only known movements after this time were as part of Moff Andal’s fleet, patrolling the Elrood Sector before its participation in the campaign against Republic Shield forces, in which the vessel perished.
