History
Led New Republic forces that reinforced Republic Shield forces that had captured the abandoned pirate station Kodiak. Republic Shield forces led by the Calamari Cruiser Stingray had successfully commandeered the station when Imperial forces delivered to the battle zone by elements of the Zodiac Battle Fleet began bombarding the platform and the Stingray. Led New Republic forces against the Imperial interlopers, and joined with the Frigate Corinne in a direct assault against the Escort Carrier Gemini, forcing it to retreat. (RgF403)
Headed New Republic task force stationed at the newly captured platform Katana, while the Frigate Corinne oversaw repair operations on the station. New Republic sentries were relieved by the arrival of Republic Shield forces. The arrival of New Republic forces desperately requesting reinforcements for its parent task force prompted the withdrawal of the standing defences, as the vessel led the New Republic task force quickly from the area to the aid the besieged forces. Unwittingly led New Republic forces directly into an Imperial trap. (RgF404)
Attempted to lead New Republic forces out of the Imperial ambush that the task force had been lured into. The battle was not going in the New Republic’s favour, as by the time assistance arrived all of the warships in the task force had lost operational defensive shields. The arrival of the Victory Star Destroyer Overseer promised a chance at survival, as the Overseer led Republic Shield forces against the Imperial attack forces. However, the vessel was directly bombarded by the Calamari Cruiser Sagittarius, and while the Imperial forces attempted capture operations on the remainder of the task force’s warships, they were instead insistent on not letting the vessel escape from the combat zone. Destroyed by Imperial forces. (RgF405)
