Redoubt

The Redoubt was a Resolute-class destroyer of the Royal Navy of the Golden Empire. It won fame as the flagship of Legate Salome Hrek during the Vagaari War.

Built at Kaldu`uzian Shipyards and commissioned in 135 ABY, the Redoubt was part of the Empire's military expansion in preparation for the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy. It served during that campaign in the Prime Fleet under Tariun Sakaros and saw action at the battles of Cormit, Csilla, and Naporar, as well as the Second Battle of Csilla which saw the defeat of the and their incorporation into the Empire. Following that campaign, the Redoubt was usually attached to the Prime Fleet.

In 140 ABY, Salome Hrek became captain of the Redoubt. When the Vagaari War erupted, the destroyer was initially part of Sorrik's command. After Sorrik went south to repulse the Ssi-ruuvi Incursion, Hrek and Tarse Medrego became Legates under Tariun Sakaros to continue prosecuting the Vagaari campaign. Installing her executive officer, Commander Meerk Hozzit, as acting captain of the Redoubt, Hrek kept the destroyer as her flagship. The Redoubt fought in numerous direct engagements with the, as well as orbital bombardments of Vagaari bases.

After the Vagaari were exterminated, Hrek was promoted to Admiral and Hozzit received permanent command of the Redoubt. It is not known how long he remained in the post, although by 149 ABY he was captain of the Sith Star. During the Nightmare War, the Redoubt was assigned to the Prime Fleet again, and it fought at the Battle of Dolomir.
