Republic Shield vessel.

History

Based near a dark grey rocky planet (#17) orbiting an old white star (#85). Left staging area as part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist in an attempted strike against the Admiral Turon’s Golan III station Deserter, based near a white star with blue halo (#90). However, the unexpected presence of a Super Star Destroyer prompted the fleet to abandon the assault and withdraw from the system to a new rendezvous location. (Blade102)

Part of the fleet build-up near an old white star (#85), preparing to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. Present at the build-up during a Republic Shield assault of an Imperial convoy by a task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Engel. (IBG101)

Part of the fleet build-up near an old white star (#85), preparing to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist in assault on Imperial shipyards near a red planet (#28) on the edge of Imperial space. Shipyards and facilities were completely destroyed, and the Victory Star Destroyer Trebuchet was driven off, allowing the Interdictor Silencer to be captured by Republic Shield forces. (IBG102)

Present at the build-up near a blue and green planet (#53) orbiting an old red star (#86) during a Republic Shield assault on nearby Imperial patrol. (IBG103)

Present at the build-up when the fleet came under Imperially-funded pirate attack by mercenary forces led by the Frigate Xenesis. (IBG104)

Present at the build-up near a cloudy planet (#9) on the edge of a green dust nebula (#66) during a Republic Shield undercover information-retrieval mission by the assault transport Lambda. (IBG105)

Part of the Tarla Strike Force assault against the Imperial Super Star Destroyer Tyrannic and its supporting fleet at an Imperial construction facility near a blue and brown planet (#26) orbiting a white star (#91) on the edge of a blue nebula (#68), led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Engaged enemy capital ships. In the aftermath of the battle, relocated to the rendezvous point near a blue and black gas planet (#34). (IBG106)

Left the fleet gathering near a cloudy planet (#9) to be part of Republic Shield task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist that was to rendezvous with supply convoy and escort them back to the massive fleet build-up. When the convoy was not present at the rendezvous point near a blue cloudy planet (#56) orbiting a purple star (#87), took part in the search for the convoy and found them ambushed on the edge of the Karsk Nebula by Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Sustainer, and restrained by the Interdictor Blue Lightning. Aided the Rebel Fist in driving off the Interdictor, helped in the capture of the Star Destroyer Sustainer, and protected the convoy while the freight vessels were repaired and departed for the fleet rendezvous. (IBG107)

Present at the fleet build-up near a blue and brown planet (#46) and a blue nebula (#68) during Republic Shield assault on the Jardal pirate base. (IBG108)

Present at the build-up near a murky orange planet (#33) orbiting a white star with blue halo (#90) during a failed supply raid by Republic Shield forces who were lured into an Imperial trap by survivors of the Jardal pirates, who escaped during the battle. (IBG109)

Rendezvoused with the Calamari Cruiser Ad Astra’s task force near a blue and white planet (#36) orbiting an old white star (#85), after the last of the Imperial outposts barring the way to the planet Tarla Minor and its shipyards were destroyed. (IBG110)

Part of the Interdictor Senate’s defensive escort that remained behind on the edge of the Tarla system while the rest of the fleet headed in to assault the Tarla Minor Shipyards. (IBG111)

Stationed at the fleet build-up near the planet Tarla Minor while Republic Shield reconnaissance forces attempted to locate the escaped Super Star Destroyer Patriarch. A number of locations were scouted, including a zone near a red nebula (#73) and a cloudy planet (#9), but the Patriarch was finally located at a TIE Defender manufacturing facility near a purple planet (#52) orbiting a blue star (#89). Moved with the entire fleet to that location to begin the assault on the Super Star Destroyer. The Interdictor Senate prevented Imperial forces from evading the onslaught, as the rest of the fleet moved in. The Imperial forces had formed into layers of defence around the Patriarch, with outer perimeter forces covering the inner defences, which in turn covered the Super Star Destroyer. Directly engaged perimeter defence group consisting of the Strike Cruiser Ravage, the Interdictor Blue Lightning and the Frigate Holok. Concentrated efforts on the surrounding perimeter forces to allow other elements of the fleet to bombard and destroy the Patriarch directly. (IBG112)

Part of Republic Shield task force relocated to the intended site of a new base in the Cadrel Expanse. Encountered Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Glady near a white planet (#19), which seemed to be escorting an Imperial convoy. Part of Republic Shield forces that assaulted the Imperial forces, leading to the destruction of the convoy’s escorts, and the capture of the Imperial freight vessels. (IBG201)

Escorted convoy craft from the Elornia system to the planet New Trassk, via an Imperial system with a ***black and red thing*** (#49). Defended against Imperial attack by forces led by the Star Destroyer Dark Hand. Protected convoy vessels as they passed through the system to the hyperspace point, and followed them to a safe arrival at the planet New Trassk. (IBG204)

Stationed at New Trassk Base while Republic Shield forces led by the Dreadnaught Resurrection reinforced Republic Shield forces led by the Interdictor Chains of Justice in an operation to destroy the Victory Star Destroyer Dark Menace. (IBG207)

Stationed at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield reconnaissance mission through surrounding areas, which resulted in an Imperial ambush just outside the Osiris Sector. (IBG209)

Stationed at New Trassk Base during the data transfer operation from the shuttle Tru'lak to the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Defended against an attack on the Tru'lak by Rolian Fanatics, and allowed to the transfer to be completed successfully. (IBG301)

Part of Republic Shield forces who oversaw and safeguarded the evacuation of Rolian evacuees from a doomed aqua planet (#12) orbiting a star about to go supernova (#11). Defended against Rolian Fanatics who attempted to thwart the evacuation operation, due to zealous religious beliefs about the necessity for all Rolian people to die with their star. (IBG302)

Helped in the evacuation efforts of the Rolian system while also leading defensive measures in the region, when Republic Shield forces led the first wave of evacuation craft out of the system. (IBG303)

Part of Republic Shield force led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist escorting the massive exodus convoy of vessels evacuating from the doomed Rolian system. Followed the Rebel Fist briefly into an ambush by Rolian Fanatics as a feint, and then ‘retreated’ further out from the system, where awaiting Republic Shield forces led by the gunships Daunter, Daze, Bayonet, and Nova flanked the attacking forces, while the Republic Shield main fleet ships led by the vessel created a defensive perimeter around the evacuation vessels. Republic Shield forces led by the gunships defeated the attacking Rolian Fanatics force. (IBG304)

Present at the fleet build-up in the Vectain system during the Imperial massacre of a supply convoy en route, led by the Star Destroyer Thunderous possibly tipped off by Rolian Fanatics. (IBG305)

Possibly en route to New Trassk Base after safely delivering the Rolian refugees to their new permanent home, featured during a Republic Shield simulation which featured this vessel. During the simulation of an attack on New Trassk Base, the vessel was featured as part of the fleet build-up near a yellow and grey gas planet (#38) and a blue and black gas planet (#34) while en route to the station while Republic Shield forces travelled ahead to arrive home early. (IBG401)

Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield rescue mission to reclaim captured convoy craft who had fallen under Imperial attack. Present when the convoy arrived safely at New Trassk Base. (IBG402)

Present at New Trassk Base during Republic Shield investigation operation searching for the point of origin of the Imperial Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, headed by the assault transport Nightwolf. Present when the Nightwolf returned to New Trassk Base to report its findings. (IBG403)

Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal to investigate asteroid mining facility Mine 12XFT-3 near a brown planet (#5) for Imperial involvement. Discovered the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator leading a reclamation effort of supplies from the facility, but withdrew before Republic Shield forces engage it. Held position near the mining facility while Republic Shield forces pursued the Dominator, which had returned to its task force, led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Republic Shield forces managed to escape from the Imperial fleet build-up and report back to the Chiin’tal’s task force with news of the Imperial armada, after a brief stopover in a region of space near asteroid field (#96) and a supernova remnant (#93). (IBG404)

Moved with Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal from the mining facility Mine 12XFT-3 to a region of space with a view of a spiral galaxy (#76), in order to lure Imperial forces to engage the fleet in the region instead of leading them back to New Trassk Base. Republic Shield forces from the Light Calamari Cruiser Kalinga probed the Imperial fleet build-up led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent, and then returned to the Republic Shield task force, luring a contingent of Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator to the Republic Shield task force. Followed the Light Calamari Cruiser Kalinga in engaging the Imperial task force, contributing to the destruction of the Carrack Cruisers Vargus and Vigilant, and the Frigate Enforcer. The Victory Star Destroyer Dominator was heavily damaged in the attack, but it withdrew from the battle, preventing its destruction. The victory took four capital ships of the Belligerent’s fleet out of commission, but the battle had its own losses — the gunships Daunter and Daze reinforced Republic Shield forces, and both ships were lost in the confrontation. (IBG405)

Republic Shield forces including the vessel formed up around the Assault Frigate Chiin'tal in a region of space with a view of a spiral galaxy (#76). Followed the Chiin'tal as it led the Republic Shield task force to New Trassk Base via a region of space near a yellow nebula (#101), where an Imperial task force led by the Modified Frigate Hypnotic was lying in wait. Followed the Chiin'tal in engaging the Imperial forces, aiding in the destruction of the Lancer Frigate Neutraliser, the disabling of the Escort Carrier Justifier, and driving off the Modified Frigate Hypnotic, which withdrew from the engagement when it came under fire. The Assault Frigate Chiin'tal remained in the area to oversee the capture operation of the Escort Carrier Justifier and the seizing of its contents of assault gunboats, while the vessel assumed command of the task force and led the remainder of Republic Shield forces back to reinforce New Trassk Base against the imminent Imperial attack. Arrived at New Trassk Base moments before the Imperial fleet led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent entered the area and led its forces against Republic Shield forces. Participated in the defence of the outpost, helping thin out the enemy starfighter cover until the Modified Frigate Celestial Fury arrived to reinforce Republic Shield forces in preparation for the next phase in the battle. (IBG407)

Defended New Trassk Base from Imperial strike force led by the Star Destroyer Belligerent. Participated in the defences during the battle, which were co-ordinated and led by the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist. Directly engaged the Modified Frigate Hypnotic, causing the vessel’s destruction. After an extensive battle the Imperial attack line was broken, allowing the separated capital ships to be picked off easier. The destruction of the Belligerent heralded the defeat of the attack force, and the Imperial forces attempted to withdraw. The majority of the Imperial attack forces were destroyed, the only exception being the Victory Star Destroyer Dominator, which managed to escape with extensive damage. (IBG408)

Led a Republic Shield reclamation force to rescue the disabled Frigate Shay's Honour near the volcanic moon (#11) of a blue planet (#10) orbiting an old orange star (#84). Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Stalker were attempting to capture the frigate, making the rescue operation imperative. The vessel and the Strike Frigate Idiot's Array engaged the Star Destroyer Stalker at point-blank range, resulting in the relatively quick neutralisation of the vessel. Meanwhile, Republic Shield forces moved to engage the assault transport group Extractor, who were attempting to board and capture the vessel. After the Imperial boarding vessels were destroyed, the YT-1300 freighter group Valiant moved in to repair the vessel. The repair crews aboard the Valiant group successfully restored power to the vessel, allowing it to escape from the system. (IBG502)

Led Republic Shield reinforcements from the fleet build-up to back up Republic Shield forces attacking a suspected Imperial outpost, who had been ambushed by the Star Destroyer Parallax. Led the Light Calamari Cruiser Madron and the Strike Frigate Idiot's Array in directly engaging the Parallax. Attacked the Star Destroyer’s bow, while the Idiot's Array engaged its right flank, and the Madron attacked its left flank. The vessel was forced to withdraw from the combat zone when the Parallax knocked out its shields and began tearing chunks out of the vessel's hull. Retreated back to the Calamari Cruiser Rebel Fist’s fleet build-up while other elements of the Republic Shield task force went on to raze the Imperial outpost and destroy the Parallax. (IBG504)

Part of Republic Shield task force led by the Assault Frigate Titan stationed with a convoy near an old orange star (#84). Waited in the staging area while the convoy and a light escort travelled to the ambush point near an aqua gas planet (#51) and lured Imperial forces to the area. Followed the Titan into the combat zone and ambushed the Imperial task force led by the Frigate Invader. The Imperial task force was completely caught off-guard by the ambush and were readily overwhelmed. Held close to the convoy to protect it from Imperial attacks and backed up the main attack force in hammering Imperial forces that strayed too close to the vessel. 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 most of the convoy safely proceeded to their hyper points. (IBG505)

Present at the Republic Shield staging area near a blue gas planet (#7) during Republic Shield operation to defend a neutral colony near the white ice planet (#39) Centrino III from attacks by pirate raiding forces. Present when Republic Shield forces returned to the Light Calamari Cruiser Kalinga. (IBG601)

Part of Republic Shield forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Resurrection II to the Centrino III colony near the white ice planet (#39) Centrino III orbiting a white star with bright halo (#88) near a blue nebula (#68) where pirate forces led by the Dreadnaught Summoner were launching a devastating assault on the colony and its defences. Despite the colony defence forces being led by the Strike Cruiser Centrino Defender, the defences were fast becoming overrun. The Resurrection II drove Republic Shield forces to the assistance of the besieged colony, launching an assault on the pirate marauders. Republic Shield forces joined the colony defences in engaging the pirate attack force. After an extensive battle, the colony defences were decimated, but the pirate attack force was largely broken by the intervening Republic Shield forces. The pirate attack on the colony had degenerated to an attempt to protect pirate forces from Republic Shield forces, but this ultimately proved futile. One after the other, pirate forces succumbed to Republic Shield forces’ merciless assaults, the Dreadnaughts Summoner, Calisto and Warpath joining the rest of the pirate forces in oblivion. (IBG603)
