The Imperial Star Destroyers Bombard and Crusader limped back to Ord Grovner Naval Base this week after dealing a death-blow to the arrogant and once-almighty Eyttyrmin Pirates of the Khuiumin system.TriNebulon News
The Bombard was a Victory-class Star Destroyer in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.
History
Commanded by Captain Alistar Dadefra, this ship, along with her sister ship Crusader, destroyed the Eyttyrmin Batiiv pirate armada at the Battle of Khuiumin. At Khuiumin, Dadefra ordered the Bombard into the thick of the pirate fleet. The ship first used its tractor beams to shield itself with enemy corvettes, before deploying spacetroopers to capture those ships. The shock of seeing their own ships turned against them, along with the Bombard's jamming, sent the pirates into disarray, making them easy to destroy.
The Alliance to Restore the Republic planted an espionage droid onboard the Bombard.[3]
