Unyielding Judge

The Unyielding Judge was one of the first Interdictor-class Star Destroyers ever constructed.

After a successful test against a small fleet of pirates in the Outer Rim, it was assigned to the Mulgard sector defense fleet.

The sector Moff, Kozalimn Vrakthuli, used it to prevent ships from approaching the infamous prison world of Striga 5 via hyperspace.

The Judge also saw action in the Yeshocq Debacle, where it used its interdiction field to prevent the Moff's kidnappers from escaping the planet Yeshocq.

Tommy Randor, one of the kidnappers, circumvented the interdiction field by interposing the bulk of the planet between his ship and the Judge, managing to escape into hyperspace.

Construction
The Judge was commissioned in 10 BBY, part of an initial production run of Interdictor-class Star Destroyers meant to compete with the far smaller and more lightly armed Sienar Fleet Systems Immobilizer 418 cruisers.

The gravity well projectors proved to be such an enormous power drain that many of the armaments of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, on which the new model was based, had to be stripped off to lessen the strain on the reactor.

Concern amongst the officers of the Imperial Navy as to whether it would still be a combat-effective warship led to the vessel's immediate crewing and deployment in the notoriously unsafe Astal sector of the Outer Rim.

The Astal Hyperlane Skirmish
The Judge was placed at the center of a commonly-used hyperlane while other Imperial forces withdrew to observe. It then successfully activated its gravity well generators, interrupting all travel along the route. After several standard hours, it pulled a small pirate fleet from hyperspace and engaged the illegally-modified vessels.

The skirmish was over in minutes; the Judge, though suffering minor losses to its TIE fighter complement, completely obliterated the pirates without taking significant damage in spite of its weakened shields and lessened weaponry. This impressive feat led to further Imperial commissions of Interdictor-class vessels.

The Yeshocq Debacle
The Judge was then assigned to the defense fleet of Mulgard sector by the personal request of Moff Kozalimn Vrakthuli, who believed that the powerful new technology would help safeguard the prison planet of Striga 5. A little over a standard year later, the vessel was diverted to Yeshocq when rumors emerged that the top-secret Astrogational Research Facility there had been infiltrated by enemies of the Empire.

It arrived in orbit over the planet and set up its interdiction field just in time to prevent Tommy Randor and his companions, who had kidnapped the Moff and stolen the prototype starship being developed at the research facility, from escaping into hyperspace. The crew received orders to destroy the vessel, but hesitated due to the Moff's presence.

This hesitation gave Randor enough time to cut all engine power, allowing Yeshocq's gravity to pull the stolen vessel back toward the planet faster than his pursuers could follow. He then escaped the interdiction field by flying around the planet from within its atmosphere, putting the planet's mass shadow between his ship and the Judge.

He was then able to escape into hyperspace.
