Legend

this Bakuran Namana-class light cruiser was used by Admiral Hortel Ossilege as his flagship. It was one of four ships, along with the Watchkeeper, Sentinel, and Defender, that were built specifically for the defense of the Bakura System, in the wake of the Battle of Bakura. When the New Republic asked for assistance in their struggle against the Sacorrian Triad, the Bakuran leaders dispatched the four ships to Corellia. During the decisive battle with the fleet of the Sacorrian Triad, the Intruder was rammed by three modified, frigate-sized ramships after being prodded into battle with them. The Intruder sustained heavy damage and casualties, including Ossilege and Gaeriel Captison, who survived long enough to trigger the Intruder's self-destruct mechanism. This caused a chain reaction of explosions in the nearby Triad ships, destroying many and giving the New Republic's forces a chance to defeat them.
