Interdictor (Interdictor-class)

The Interdictor was an experimental Interdictor-class heavy cruiser that was equipped with four gravity well projectors, allowing it to pull starships out of hyperspace. The Imperial Interdictor was placed under the command of Admiral Brom Titus of the Imperial Navy, who tested the cruiser's capabilities against a rebel patrol in the Del Zennis system. Shortly later, the Imperial Interdictor captured a rebel starship called the Liberator, the flagship of the Phoenix Cell's leader Commander Jun Sato. Among the rebel captives was Ezra Bridger, a young Jedi apprentice who was a perennial foe of the Galactic Empire. After its destruction, a new type of Interdictor vessel was developed, the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer.
