Vessel Info

The Creeping Darkness is part of the Expeditionary force and plays a vital role in providing an interdiction field to a theatre of battle. Her 24 TIE Interceptors act as a fighter screen and in the event that the Creeping Darkness is operating alone, the two squadrons will provide close assault to any ships that fall into her net.


Action

House Feud of 28 ABY

The Creeping Darkness first saw action in the inter-House Feud, a set of small issues that escalated into conflict between the two Houses of Clan Arcona. The Creeping Darkness assisted the ISDII Eye of the Abyss II in ending the feud, although it was mainly intimidation by that ISDII and the Consul that brought the conflict to a close.


The Evacuation of Dajorra

The Creeping Darkness was the first ship of the Arcona Expeditionary Force to join the Dajorra Defense Force in battling the Yuuzhan Vong in 29 ABY. It played a large role in the battle early on when it pulled the rest of the AEF out of hyperspace prematurely using its gravity wells in a creative movement called a Thrawn Pincer. The ships emerged from behind the majority of the enemy ships, and began to attack them viciously. It was a bold act, as the vessel was exposed to heavy Vong fire for two minutes. The interceptor then joined most of the AEF in attacking an enemy capital ship codenamed Lucifer.

The Creeping Darkness was one of the ships in the first wave that reached the Maw Rendezvous, decanting with the Eye of the Abyss, Darkest Night, and Last Light. It, alongside the Last Light, were charged with covering the second wave and had the support of one third of the remaining fighters in Arcona's service.

The withdrawal to Selen went smoothly for the ship, and it sustained minimal damage in the ensuing chaos. The majority of the damage to the Creeping Darkness occurred during the Thrawn Pincer, and the interceptor was one of the first ships loaded with refugees. The damage from the engagement was repaired by Clan Tarentum.


Uneasy Alliances Feud of 29 ABY

The next time the Immobilizer saw serious action was in 29 ABY during a feud with Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Plagueis, as the ship was sent with the Arcona Expeditionary Force into the Cocytus System to fight the enemy Clans' fleets, as well as the Yuuzhan Vong. The INT sustained some minor damage during the battle, but nothing too serious.

Also, to note, there are a few refugees living on board, although the bulk of them are housed on the Abyss. These refugees were generated after the Dajorra System was lost to the Yuuzhan Vong during the Eighth Great Jedi War, and the Clan has yet to reclaim its home system.


Trivia

Attached to the Creeping Darkness are 2 squadrons of fighters:

-Velocity Squadron (TIE Interceptors)
