Operation Darkstar-Roundhammer
 

Congratulations captain in the success of your previous assignment. Your Victory-II class Star Destroyer Touch of Death has been given the honour of capturing the Rebel Nebulon-B Frigate The Master. That Rebel frigate has been a source for the unexplained Rebel successes against Imperial Forces in parts of the Airam Sector. Imperial Intelligence has learned that the frigate is in a need of resupply and will be stopping at the 45DR9 System. The frigate must be captured intact, quickly without the use of ion cannons and before the Rebels can get a chance to destroy the frigate's computers. The frigate's engines and bridge must not be destroyed. You still retain command of Hammer (TIE Interceptors, specially equipped with shields) and Anvil Squadrons (TIE Bombers specially equipped with shields). Note that Hammer and Anvil Squadrons are veterans. You also retain the command of Spacetroopers and the standard Stormtroopers, as well as the 2 ATRs. Also included in your complement is 4 Heavy Lifters. Imperial Intelligence also reports the frigate's complement consists of 2 X-Wing Squadrons and 4 Space Tugs. It has been reported that Sunfire Squadron is an elite squadron, while Acid Squadron is a veteran squadron. [An Elite squadron is the equivalent to 3 ordinary squadrons, while a Veteran squadron is the equivalent 2 ordinary squadrons]

Note that there are no reinforcements available. Hammer Squadron does not have any warheads. Anvil Squadron has been equipped with 8 Concussion Missiles per TIE Bomber. The ATRs have no warheads. The X-Wings have 6 Proton Torpedoes each.

Galactic Empire Data Bank's Answer

All four of the Heavy Lifters would be launched, attached to them would be as many spacetroopers as possible. The Heavy Lifters would carry the spacetroopers to the cargo containers, where the spacetroopers will detach themselves and make their way to hide inside them. Meanwhile, the Heavy Lifters would take capture 4 unoccupied cargo containers and make a run into hyperspace. Meanwhile Hammer and Anvil Squadrons would provide cover for the operation. Their only goal is to keep the Rebel fighters occupied. The VSDII Touch of Death would offer its fire support to the Imperial squadrons. During this, the VSDII would be preparing to make the jump into hyperspace to a location near the 45DR9 System. Once the Heavy Lifters have gone into hyperspace, Hammer and Anvil Squadrons would fight their way back to the VSDII. From there they would make a fighting withdraw into the hanger in waves. Once all of Hammer and Anvil Squadrons are onboard, the VSDII Touch of Death would make the jump into hyperspace. The Rebels would take the four remaining cargo containers onboard their Nebulon-B Frigate The Master. Once onboard the frigate, they would break out of the cargo containers. Once out the spacetroopers would destroy every craft in the hanger, then they would head towards the bridge, computer and engineering sections to quickly seize control of them. Once the spacetroopers gain control of the frigate they would signal for the VSDII to arrive, from which Stormtrooper reinforcements can be delivered to clear out the remaining Rebels on the frigate. If there are any Rebel fighters in the area, they would use the frigate's weapons on them.
