Legend

this Ishori war cruiser, commanded by Captain Av'muru, was one of the multitude of ships that came to surround the planet Bothawui shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the destruction of Caamas. It was the ship that began running down several Sif'krie skiffs in an attempt to draw the Diamalan warships into a battle. In order to avoid the confrontation, Leia Organa-Solo deliberately destroyed the Millennium Falcon's maneuvering engines upon entry into the Bothawui orbital space. She sent out a distress call to the Predominance, which her Captain reluctantly answered. The Predominance managed to capture the floundering ship with a tractor beam and transport it to President Gavrisom's vessel, effectively diffusing the situation. Shortly thereafter, Klif, Pensin, and Horvic managed to infiltrate the ship, disguised as New Republic technicians. They killed their escort and commandeered a turbolaser battery. As soon as Navet dropped the Drev'starn shield, they began firing the Predominance's weapons. They managed eight shots before they were discovered and neutralized. However, this action was coupled with a number of Imperial messages that signalled the various races to begin firing, and the warships above Bothawui began to attack each other. The Predominance took a good deal of fire from the Diamalan ships, especially the Industrious Thoughts, before the true nature of the attack could be disseminated.
