Harboring resentment and unsatisfied with mere police work, the crew increasingly ignored operational boundaries.

| The Vibre-class "assault cruiser" is a very specialized ship, used exclusively for boarding other vessels. Like Silviut's shuttle design, the Svelte-class, the Vibre-class is small and vaguely beetle-shaped.

| The ''Ambition'' saw several successful commerce raids in service to the [[starwars:Imperial_Remnant|Imperial Remnant]], but, as with most ships of this make, was relegated to smuggler interdiction and covert reconnaissance with the ending of the [[starwars:Galactic_Civil_War|Galactic Civil War]]. Harboring resentment for the [[starwars:Bastion|Bastion]] Accords, and unsatisfied with mere police work, but not enough to abandon [[starwars:Gilad_Pellaeon|Pellaeon]] altogether, the crew increasingly ignored operational boundaries. ''Ambition'' began preying on [[starwars:New_Republic|New Republic]] shipping, killing their crews, looting their cargo, and rigging them to self-destruct.

| Rocked by a sudden tractor beam impact, and reading the Cruiser’s shields rising just as the order to fire was about to be given, the ''Ambition'' found itself exactly where it could seldom afford to be: on the defensive. The opposing ship identified itself as the ''Penitence'', relayed that it was under the command of Dark Jedi, and offered to spare their lives in return for submission. Taken aback by his revelation, and devoid of the time, firepower, and shields to escape to hyperspace, the Captain took only a few moments to agree. The first Jedi borders arrived within minutes, facilitating the ship’s entry into first the Kunian, and later [[Plagueis|Plagueian]] '''Navy'''. It came to serve in a monitoring role along the main hyperspace route into the [[Jusadih System], invisibly observing and scanning incoming traffic. It was also attached to the Prodigy of Plagueis. | | Rocked by a sudden tractor beam impact, and reading the Cruiser’s shields rising just as the order to fire was about to be given, the ''Ambition'' found itself exactly where it could seldom afford to be: on the defensive.

The Ambition was relegated to smuggler interdiction and covert reconnaissance with the ending of the Galactic Civil War.

It was obvious to all involved that these losses would not go unnoticed for long, thus they eventually decided to make the next score their last for a time.
