Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
During the early days of the Galactic War, an Imperial task force ambushed the Valor-class cruiser Intercessor above the planet Vondoru. Three Terminus-class destroyers engaged the Intercessor and damaged the ship, but Republic reinforcements in the form of several Defender-class light corvettes and three Thranta-clas corvettes arrived near Vondoru.
However, fighters from the elite Empire's Fury starfighter squadron soon came to the Imperial destroyers' aid, and the task force engaged the Republic ships in the atmosphere of Vondoru. The Intercessor and its escorts released many Talon-class starfighters, but the Emperor's Fury fighters inflicted heavy damage on the Republic corvettes and disabled the Intercessor shield generators and defenses, allowing the Imperials to capture the crippled flagship.
