History
Three of the vessels were part of Imperial forces led by the Star Destroyer Darkstar 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, following the Darkstar’s lead in conceding the combat zone. (PBF211)
Attempted to reinforce and defend an Imperial supply line crucial for Imperial forces in the region. Led Imperial defences against Republic Shield forces led by the Frigate Echo Hawk; however the attacking forces overwhelmed the defenders. Republic Shield forces caused maximum damage, annihilating the convoy, and the Frigate Echo Hawk directly engaged the vessel. The vessel was unable to stand up to the Echo Hawk, and perished along with the convoy. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF303)
