History
Part of Imperial task force led by the Frigate Invader that attacked a convoy passing an aqua gas planet (#51) to lure Imperial forces to the combat zone. As Imperial forces began attacking the convoy, the escorting Republic Shield forces engaged the attack forces, halting their progress until reinforcements led by the Assault Frigate Titan arrived to ambush the Imperial task force, catching them off-guard and overwhelming them. 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, destroying the entire task force. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (IBG505)
