Imperial vessel. Part of the Star Destroyer Battleking’s task force.
History
Part of the Imperial task force led by the Star Destroyer Battleking that confronted the Calamari Cruisers McGrath and Windstorm. Posted at the Battleking’s right flank, the vessel supported the Star Destroyer in the assault against Republic Shield forces. However, the McGrath’s forces were not wholly unprepared, and a bloody battle ensued, with command ships on both sides taking hits. Republic Shield forces eventually pushed back the Imperial attack line, and the Calamari Cruisers manoeuvred to withdraw from the area, raking nearby vessels with fire as they went. The Calamari Cruisers successfully withdrew from the combat zone, after the Imperial attack force had been softened up enough for Republic Shield forces to finish off the task force. Failed to protect the Star Destroyer Battleking. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (PBF612)
