Your battle for the galaxy is about to begin.
Interdictor cruisers are 600-meter-long cruisers
built on the standard Vindicator-class heavy
cruiser hull. They are a valuable addition to the
Imperial Navy. The Interdictor Cruisers were first
manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems two years
before the Battle of Yavin though these costly
cruisers were produced in very limited quantities
prior to the Battle of Hoth. Interdictor cruisers,
also known as Immobilizer 418 cruisers, have the
appearance of small Star Destroyers.
However, they have four large globes that house
Gravity well projectors which mimic a large mass
in space, restricting hyperspace travel. Other
ships which which make use of gravity well
projectors are the Star Destroyer Dominator, and
the Eclipse-class and Sovereign-class Star
Dreadnoughts. Nearby vessels are automatically
prevented from engaging Hyperspace engines, and
any ship passing through the area via hyperspace
are forced into realspace. They are also equipped
with 20 quad-laser cannons for short range combat
against other ships. The Interdictor's hull
is nearly identical to that of the
Vindicator-class heavy cruiser and can support
several additional weapons depending on mission
profile. Enemy fire is absorbed by more than a
dozen shield generators.
Since they were rare and costly to produce,
Imperial tacticians often placed them on the edge
of a battle area to prevent enemy ships from
escaping. The Interdictors were also used to
blockade planets or moons, such as Yavin 4. The
only opportunity to evade them is in the minute or
so it takes for the gravity well projectors to
recharge, though this was rarely enough time for
an entire fleet to make the jump to hyperspace.
Producing an entire fleet of such cruisers proved
a time-consuming and delicate project and by the
time of the Battle of Endor, Sienar Fleet Systems
had manufactured only a few Interdictors which
were mainly under the command of Grand Admiral
Thrawn in the Outer Rim.
