Constrainer

The Constrainer was an Interdictor-class heavy cruiser in service to the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Equipped with gravity well projectors, it was capable of generating an interdiction field, an artificial gravity well that allowed the Interdictor to prevent other vessels from entering hyperspace. During the campaign against the rebel Phoenix Cell, the heavy cruiser was attached to the Seventh Fleet under Grand Admiral Thrawn. In 2 BBY, the Constrainer formed part of an Imperial squadron sent to the planet Atollon, where the Phoenix Cell had set up their base.

During Thrawn's ensuing assault on the rebels, the Constrainer, as well as another Interdictor cruiser, prevented enemy ships from bypassing the Imperial blockade. However, the other Interdictor was destroyed, allowing rebel Lieutenant Commander Ezra Bridger to escape the fray. Bridger subsequently enlisted several Mandalorian warriors to aid the rebels. These warriors, led by Bridger and Sabine Wren, landed on the Constrainer hull and fired on one of its gravity well projectors. Although engaged by Imperial jet troopers, the strike team nonetheless managed to rupture the generator. This caused it to explode, obliterating the ship and allowing the rebels to flee.
