History
Delivered Imperial reinforcements to bolster the attack force led by the Victory Star Destroyer Kingpin, which was engaged in a successful assault on a New Republic Defence Fleet task force before the arrival of Republic Shield reinforcements hampered Imperial efforts. Withdrew from the engagement with the Frigate Taurus before the engagement was completed, unwittingly leaving the Imperial attack force open to conquest by Republic Shield reinforcements proper led by the Frigate Unforgiven. (RgF401)
Stationed at the Synastry facility while waiting for the rest of the Zodiac Battle Fleet to arrive at the rendezvous point. Present during an undercover Republic Shield reconnaissance operation led by the captured Victory Star Destroyer Kingpin. The Kingpin used its battle damage to fool Imperial forces into preparing a repair operation while a reconnaissance force roamed the area collecting data of the assembled craft. The reconnaissance operation was revealed when the Calamari Cruiser Sagittarius arrived and alerted Imperial forces to the true allegiance of the Kingpin. The Victory Star Destroyer then attempted to withdraw from the outpost while Imperial forces attempted to bring it down. They failed, as the Kingpin and its reconnaissance force escaped into hyperspace. (RgF402)
