Windstorm

Ambushed by Imperial forces while attempting to travel from the Minos Cluster to the Greeop Sector. The freighter Decoy arrived and launched a minor Imperial attack force, which Republic Shield forces intercepted. However the Frigate Brand entered the combat zone and led Imperial forces in an assault on the beleaguered vessel. Republic Shield forces managed to hold off the Imperial attack force while the vessel escaped from the combat zone after sustaining some damage. (PBF201)

Brand

Led Imperial forces in an assault against the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm as it was moving to depart from the Minos Cluster. The freighter Decoy had already launched a minor attack force against the Calamari Cruiser, which Republic Shield defending forces were engaging when the vessel arrived to launch the main assault. However Imperial forces were unable to destroy the Windstorm, instead damaging it and driving it off. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF201)

PBF 202

Windstorm

After escaping from the previous Imperial assault, the vessel was ambushed by Imperial forces led by the Frigate Saladin. However the vessel successfully led Republic Shield forces against the attack force, hammering them, and disabling the Frigate Saladin. The Saladin was then boarded by the transport Conductor, which eventually withdrew from the engagement zone after prisoners being held onboard the frigate were safely secured and extracted. The vessel managed to escape the engagement with fairly extensive damage. (PBF202)

Saladin

Led an Imperial assault against the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm in the Minos Cluster, immediately after a failed Imperial ambush on the Calamari Cruiser. Imperial forces failed in their objectives, and the Windstorm led Republic Shield forces in hammering the vessel, disabling it. The vessel was then boarded by the transport Conductor, and all prisoners held onboard were removed to Republic Shield custody as the Conductor left the engagement zone. The vessel itself was destroyed by Republic Shield forces immediately after the prisoner extraction. (PBF202)

PBF 203

Lacerator

Co-ordinated Imperial defences of Imperial shipyards in the Minos Cluster, assaulted by Republic Shield forces. Led Imperial forces against the incursive forces in an attempt to allow evacuation craft to escape from the combat zone. However Republic Shield forces pushed through the defensive efforts and laid waste to the facilities, intercepting all fleeing craft in the process. Withdrew from the combat zone with moderate damage. (PBF203)

PBF 204

Hope

Modified with a faster hyperdrive, in an attempt to intercept the Imperial corvette Wildman which was attempting to transport a captured Republic Shield computer with vital information of Republic Shield shipyard locations in the Minos Cluster. Arrived in pursuit of the Wildman near the planet Dar’telis I, and launched Republic Shield forces to deal with the threat. Then retreated from the combat zone, leaving Republic Shield forces to destroy the corvette Wildman before it could reach the safety of an Imperial task force. (PBF204)

Wildman

Rushed to rendezvous with Imperial forces while in possession of a Republic Shield computer detailing shipyard locations in the Minos Cluster. Rapidly pursued by Republic Shield forces aboard the corvette Hope, which intercepted the vessel near the planet Dar’telis I. The Hope launched Republic Shield forces, and then retreated from the combat zone, leaving the launched forces to intercept the vessel. The Star Destroyer Jumalauta entered the combat zone and lent assistance, leading Imperial forces against the attacking Republic Shield forces. However the assistance was ultimately in vain, as Republic Shield forces bombarded the vessel into submission, destroying the stolen computer and data in the process. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF204)

Jumalauta

Rushed to the assistance of the corvette Wildman, which had managed to secure vital information on Republic Shield shipyard locations in the Minos Cluster. However the Wildman was pursuit by the corvette Hope, which intercepted it near the planet Dar’telis I and launched Republic Shield forces to interdict it before the Hope fled back out of the combat zone. Entered the combat zone and led Imperial forces against the encroaching Republic Shield strike force; however this was ultimately unsuccessful, as the Wildman was bombarded into submission, destroying the stolen data it carried in the process. (PBF204)

PBF 205

Yavin IV

Part of convoy disabled by an Imperial attack on the edge of Minos Cluster. The shuttle Mac’s Pride performed repairs on the vessel while Republic Shield forces provided cover, holding back the Imperial assault led by the Frigate Cleaver. Republic Shield forces successful held off the Imperial attack until the Mac’s Pride completed repairs, allowing the vessel to escape from the combat zone. (PBF205)

Cleaver

Led an Imperial assault on Republic Shield forces attempting to repair the corvette Yavin IV, which had become disabled in a previous Imperial attack on the convoy it was part of on the edge of the Minos Cluster. Republic Shield forces held back the Imperial attack force, allowing the shuttle Mac’s Pride time to repair the disabled corvette. The Imperial attempt to prevent the recovery operation failed, as the corvette Yavin IV withdrew from the combat zone. (PBF205)

PBF 206

Echo Hawk

Captured from Republic Shield shipyard in the Minos Cluster by Imperial forces. Targeted by Republic Shield forces, which launched a reclamation operation to capture the vessel from Imperial forces. The accompanying Imperial defences were destroyed, and the vessel disabled, opening the way for capture operations. The shuttle Mac's Pride entered the combat zone and commenced docking operations the vessel, in preparation for storming and capturing the vessel. However, Imperial reinforcements, led by the corvette group Drv'tk, intervened, disrupting the reclamation efforts and shooting the transport off the vessel’s hull. The shuttle group Dry'nk entered under the protective cover of the Imperial attack force, and attempted to restore operational status to the disabled frigate. Republic Shield forces prevented this from happening, destroying the shuttle group Dry’nk, and eventually annihilating the corvette group Drv’tk, opening the way for the shuttle Dew's Trust to perform docking operations and execute a capture operation of the vessel. Despite Imperial attempts to prevent it, the vessel was captured by Republic Shield forces, and withdrew from the combat zone to be properly refitted for combat duty. (PBF206)

Drv'tk

Led Imperial reinforcements to disrupt Republic Shield reclamation operation of the Frigate Echo Hawk, which Imperial forces had successfully commandeered. Republic Shield forces had successfully destroyed the Echo Hawk’s escorting forces, and disabled the frigate. The shuttle Mac's Pride was docked with the Echo Hawk, performing a capture operation when Imperial reinforcements arrived and blasted it off the hull of the frigate. While bombarding Republic Shield forces, the vessels covered the arrival of the shuttle group Dry'nk, which entered the combat zone to restore the Echo Hawk to operational status. However Republic Shield forces prevented the Imperial restoration effort, destroying the shuttles and bombarding the vessels into submission, before eventually launching a second boarding shuttle to capture the frigate. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF206)

PBF 207

Echo Hawk

After being liberated from Imperial forces, the vessel required extensive refits. However in the interim, the shuttles Dew’s Trust and Phalon's Folly rendezvoused with the vessel to deliver replacement shield generators and missiles, respectively. Imperial forces led by the Frigate Hatchet launched an assault on the resupply operation, however Republic Shield forces defended the vessel and its resupply craft, thwarting the Imperial attack and allowing the resupply operation to be completed. (PBF207)

Hatchet

Led Imperial forces in an assault on the Frigate Echo Hawk, which was being supplied after its recovery from Imperial possession.
