The Interdictor Compellor
was tracked to a nearby Imperial Repair Yard by the Rebels. The Rebel intend
to capture the Interdictor, so they can analyse its gravity well technology
and use it to their advantage. Rebel Intelligence reports indicated that
the Imperial Repair Yard was lightly defended, which gave the Rebels an
unparalleled opportunity. The Rebels hypered to the Repair Yard's location
and began their attack. Green Squadron first concentrated its attacks on
the 9 Gun Emplacements that were protecting the Repair Yard, while Rogue
Squadron concentrated on the TIE Interceptors that were scrambled from
the Repair Yard. Avenger Squadron's TIE Advanced were all in dock and did
not launch with the TIE Interceptors, with this Rogue Squadron took the
advantage and destroyed the TIE Advanced before they could be launched
into combat. Once the gun emplacements were destroyed by Green Squadron,
they then turned their attention on the Interdictor Cruiser Compellor.
Captain Rigell ordered the Interdictor Cruiser Compellor to make a run
for it and not long after Imperial reinforcements arrived. The VSD Inexorable
and the Strike Cruiser Iron Hand were the Imperial reinforcements that
arrived on the scene. Assault Gunboats also arrived on the scene, at first
they concentrated their efforts on the B-Wings. When the B-Wings disabled
the Interdictor Compellor, the Rebel ATR Lomcevak arrived to capture the
Interdictor Cruiser. With the Rebels' ATR doing a docking operation with
the Interdictor Compellor, the Assault Gunboats turned their sights on
the ATR in an attempt to destroy it. Unfortunately they were destroyed
before the ATR could be eliminated. During this the Rebels had to contend
against the starfighters launched from the Imperial capital ships that
came to reinforce the Imperial position in the area. Once the Interdictor
was captured, the ATR hypered out of the area. Realizing the threat posed
to the Empire if the Rebels were to have an Interdictor Cruiser in their
possession, the VSD Inexorable launched waves Stormtrooper Transports for
a total of 12 armed with heavy rockets to eliminated the captured Interdictor
Cruiser. The Empire was not able to eliminate the cruiser before it jumped
into hyperspace, all of the Stormtrooper Transports were destroyed by Rogue
Squadron. Once all of the Imperial starfighter opposition was eliminated
the Rebels hypered out of the area.
