Immobilizer 418 Cruiser (9) |
| First appearance: Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1 - Heir to the Empire | |
| Relations: Sienar Fleet Systems | |
| The Immobilizer 418 cruiser, also known as the Interdictor-class heavy cruiser, Interdictor-class medium frigate, Interdictor Dreadnaught, or simply the Interdictor, and sometimes colloqually as the Drag Ship, was a 600-meter-long cruiser built on the standard Vindicator-class heavy cruiser hull. Equipped with gravity well projectors designed to pull ships from hyperspace and prevent them making the jump to lightspeed, the Interdictor became a valuable addition to the Imperial Navy. Interdictor cruisers, like their Vindicator-class cousins, had the appearance of small Star Destroyers. However, their lines were broken by four large globes housing gravity well projectors. The gravity wells mimicked a large mass in space and thus restricted hyperspace travel. Nearby vessels were automatically prevented from engaging their hyperdrive, and any ships passing through the area via hyperspace were forced into realspace. As well as gravity wells, the Sienar design was also equipped with 20 quad laser cannons to combat starfighters. The Interdictor's hull was nearly identical to that of the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser and could support several additional weapons depending on mission profile. Enemy fire was absorbed by a deflector shield created by more than a dozen shield generators. Read more... |
