Anvil

Canon Linked from 34 articles

The Anvil was a Kilji war cruiser commanded by General Crofyp of the Kilji Illumine, the nation of the Kilji species. The Anvil was one of two Kilji warships in Crofyp's task force, the other being the Kilji picket cruiser Hammer. Crofyp's war cruiser was equipped with escape pods and electrostatic barriers, which shielded the Anvil hull. Its armament included spectrum lasers.

In 18 BBY, the Grysk operative known as "Jixtus," who had allied himself with the Illumine's ruler, Generalirius Nakirre, sent Crofyp's task force to the Unknown Regions' Rapacc system. The Grysk tasked Crofyp with capturing several refugees hiding on the planet Rapacc. However, when they arrived at Rapacc, Crofyp's forces were confronted by the Paccosh-commandeered Nikardun blockade frigate Aelos. After the Kilji ships moved for a cross fire attack on the Aelos, the Chiss heavy cruiser Springhawk, whose crew codenamed the Anvil as "Cruiser One," arrived and fired plasma sphere weapons at the war cruiser's starboard. The Springhawk destroyed the Anvil while the Hammer fled.
