Monitor III
this Republic Cruiser was dispatched by the Old Republic to put an end to the Iridium Pirate band which raided Republic grain and supply convoys near the planet Vuchelle, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The task force was led by the Jedi Knights Belsed-Qan Idan and Kit Fisto, and the Monitor III carried with it a small fleet of starfighters. The Iridium Pirates wielded a power gem, using its power to cause heavy damage to the Monitor III and her crew. Four Republic judiciaries and two Jedi Knights, Dovish Hokken and Yrada Soludisan, were killed in the explosions. The Jedi starfighter pilots, flying in Aethersprite-class fighters, managed to overwhelm the Iridium Pirates before the Monitor III had to be abandoned.
