History
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. 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)
Part of Republic Shield attack force led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus against the main Imperial fleet stationed in the Desdemona Sector, led by an Imperial Warlord. Arrived after the Prometheus’s task force had already drawn Imperial attention towards the Interdictor Chains of Justice and its interdiction abilities. The vessel was part of the second task force led by the Frigate Vespia, which flanked Imperial forces from the other side. The Interdictor Chains of Justice engaged its interdiction field, preventing withdrawal of Imperial forces, forcing them to battle. The odds stacked against the vessel’s forces improved with the defection of Abandon forces led by the Strike Cruiser Nightshade, who spontaneously attacked Imperial forces, forming a three-way surrounding force pushing inward towards the Warlord’s flagship, the Star Destroyer Indomitable. The withdrawal of the Chains of Justice to spare it from destruction seemed to open up the possibility for Imperial victory, or at least enable the escape of the Indomitable, however Abandon and Republic Shield forces were more successful than expecting, outmanoeuvring and overcoming the Imperial forces, destroying the Indomitable and its supporting ships. (R2F802)
Part of Republic Shield defences led by the Star Destroyer Prometheus at the diplomat transfer between Republic Shield and Abandon forces in the Desdemona Sector. Defended against Imperial attempts to disrupt the negotiations led by the Strike Cruiser Vicious, and helped drive off the attackers, allowing the diplomatic craft to safely arrive onboard the opposite faction’s vessels. (R2F803)
Followed the Frigate Vespia’s lead in rushing to reinforce the Star Destroyer Prometheus, which had been pulled out of hyperspace unexpectedly, possibly through use of a form of interdiction mine and ambushed by Imperial forces led by the Dreadnaught Black Knight, soon after the diplomat transfer with Abandon forces had taken place. The question of a spy amongst Republic Shield forces was considered, as Imperial communications traffic hinted at the fact, and the Abandon ambassador onboard the Frigate Vespia was not above suspicion. Arrived late into the battle, as the Prometheus was retreating back towards the Vespia’s anticipated position. Part of Republic Shield reinforcements that followed the Vespia in driving the remaining Imperial forces back, helping destroy all of the attacking capital ships. (R2F804)
