Altair
Pirate vessel.
History
Escorted the freighter group Rallek in the vicinity of navigation buoy ALD-763-RTR near the planet Adarlon. Hailed by the Calamari Cruiser Windstorm. Ignored the Calamari Cruiser’s communication attempts. Republic Shield forces launched from the Windstorm and buzzed the convoy and the vessel, scanning the contents. The vessel and convoy responded by fleeing into hyperspace on the vector of navigation buoy ALD-793-RTR. Returned to the area near navigation buoy ALD-763-RTR from the direction of navigation buoy ADL-793-RTR as part of a pirate attack force led by the Frigate Hammerhead. After briefly battling with Republic Shield forces, the vessel withdrew from the engagement, as did the Hammerhead. Republic Shield forces were too busy dealing with other elements of the pirate attack force to prevent the vessel from withdrawing. The vessel and its activities were surreptitious monitored by the Star Destroyer Arcanus, which observed the proceedings from a discreet distance. (PBF701)
