History
Led Imperial forces in a strike against the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm. An experimental superweapon was used against the Windstorm, which rendered the Calamari Cruiser’s systems offline. Instead of moving to annihilate the Windstorm, the vessel withdrew from the combat zone to harass other Republic Shield forces. Led Imperial forces against the Frigate Echo Hawk. Republic Shield forces defended the frigate, holding Imperial attacks at bay until Republic Shield reinforcements led by the Calamari Cruiser Valour arrived to cover the Echo Hawk’s escape from the ambush. Withdrew from the combat zone when Republic Shield forces started harassing the vessel, leading Imperial forces in conceding the combat zone. (PBF211)
Led Imperial forces in an assault against the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm in an attempt to prevent the disabled Calamari Cruiser from receiving its final repairs. Republic Shield forces had amassed a large defensive force led by the Calamari Cruiser McGrath, so the vessel launched attack Imperial forces including the transport group Brew, before performing a micro-jump and launching forces from another vector. The attack forces were dispersed by Republic Shield forces, and the vessel withdrew from the combat zone in defeat, as the Windstorm’s repairs enable the Calamari Cruiser to enter hyperspace. (PBF212)
Led Imperial forces in a strike against Republic Shield forces led by the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm. The vessel directly engaged the Windstorm’s flanking vessels, and annihilated the Frigate Nighthawk and the corvettes Rogue and Talon VI. Despite an initial bombardment against the Windstorm, which caused considerable damage, the Calamari Cruiser swiftly escaped from the combat zone. (PBF301)
Witnessed by Republic Shield reconnaissance forces led by the Frigate Echo Hawk at an Imperial assembly point where the vessel led Imperial forces lying in wait for Republic Shield forces to stumble into the ambush zone. Republic Shield reconnaissance forces scouted the location and waved off Republic Shield forces, sparing the forces from the massacre that would have befallen them. Withdrew from the ambush zone once the Frigate Echo Hawk escaped, warning the Republic Shield forces away from the trap. (PBF304)
Led Imperial forces in an ambush against Republic Shield forces led by the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm. However Republic Shield forces defended the Windstorm against Imperial assault, and struck a severe blow against the pursuing Imperial forces, knocking the Star Destroyer Kunder's Pride out of the battle, driving the Frigate group Kirsk off, and blasting the vessel into oblivion. Republic Shield forces then covered the Calamari Cruiser as it withdrew from the combat zone, annihilating any Imperial forces left behind. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF305)
