The Chains of Justice was a standard Interdictor Cruiser under the Empire. After the Battle of Endor, the Chains and her crew defected to New Republic with their ship. The ship's name remaned the same in under the NR due to a lack of time to change it. The ship was one of the first Interdictors ever captured by the NR. Upon the formation of Retribution Fleet within the RS it was assigned there to provide Interdictor support. The Chains was assigned to Sentinel Wing and given the rebuilt Shadow Squadron under Commander Brian Neithan for its permenant fighter unit.
