She made port in then-Imperial held Sluis Van to undergo repairs before being sent back out to rejoin Death Squadron.īroadsword would have a great deal of success as she joined in the pursuit of the Rebel Alliance across the Galaxy. The vessel was able to limp back to its rally point while the ship's engineers worked in vac-suits on the vessel's hull, re-routing power around the destroyed coupling. However, the dorsal mounted tractor beams were used to 'guide' the fighters into the hangar. Recovering her fighters proved tricky as the port module also contained the vessel's main hangar. The returning Interceptors were too much for the Rebels, however, and they were completely overwhelmed by the faster, more agile fighters. At half-efficiency Broadsword began turning to keep its operational dorsal and starboard modules in the fight.
The sturdy attack fighters scored a lucky shot on Broadsword, disabling her port-side module with an off-chance hit to the power coupling running along the spine of the large vessel. One interceptor was damaged and while Broadsword made its way to recover its fighters, they were jumped by a flight of Y-wings responding to the transport's distress beacon. Two flights of Interceptors peeled the escorts away while the remaining two flights made short work of the tranport's thin armor. A flight of TIE/rc's from Phoenix Squadron spotted a Gallofree transport being escorted by a pair of X-wings and relayed their location to Broadsword, which promptly launched Lightning Squadron to engage and destroy the vessels. She first saw action, acting as a picket orbiting Hoth while the Star Destroyers focused on overwhelming the Rebel defenders on the planet's surface. She was outfitted with a squadron of reconaissance TIE fighters and a squadron of the new TIE Interceptors, and tasked to join Darth Vader's Death Squadron.
