ILF Tempest

HIMS Tempest is a frigate and picket ship of the Imperial Navy. She was the lead ship commissioned in a large order placed by Lord Aldus Thel in 23 ABY and launched from Kuat Drive Yards in Kelona, 24 ABY.

After passing her inspection, she and her sister ships were assigned, with the utmost secrecy, to the interdiction fleet at Caspar during the height of the Union-Republic scandal. While the suspicious eyes of the galaxy looked to the Imperial freighters landing on Union worlds to deliver humanitarian supplies, Tempest and her squadron quietly slipped through the Imperial held hyperspace routes to the Caspia system and secreted themselves among the Wall of Tumbling Teeth asteroid belt.

Lord Thel granted command of the Tempest to Lieutenant Amaza Sunrider, a surprising move given the tactical value of the squadron and her inexperience in a command role.
