History

Led assault and capture operation against supply convoy en route to massive fleet buildup in the aftermath of the destruction of the Super Star Destroyer Tyrannic, its accompanying fleet and the surrounding shipyards. Succeeded in detaining the convoy with the Interdictor Blue Lightning and beginning a capture operation, by disabling all of the convoy vessels, until a Republic Shield search party, led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist interrupted and struck back at the Imperial forces, driving off the Blue Lightning and disabling the Sustainer. Captured by Republic Shield forces when commandos aboard the assault transport group Storm in a two-pronged capture operation. The vessel’s databanks yielded important information about where the Imperial forces had acquired their combat intelligence for the convoy ambush, which pointed to a mercenary group near the blue and brown planet (#26) Jardal, who had worked for the Imperials before, by staging an ineffective attack on the massive fleet buildup.

Refitted by Republic Shield and renamed the Redemption. (IBG108)

Behind the Scenes

This ship was originally named the Judicator, which conflicts with Official Continuity as one of the ships later assigned to Grand Admiral Thrawn’s armada. Retroactively renamed by the Logistics Office.
