History
The Event Horizon was a Star Battlecruiser part of the Imperial Kuati Sector Forces in 8 ABY during the Galactic Civil War, in which the Alliance to Restore the Republic fought against the Empire. The Event Horizon guarded the planet Kuat, home to Kuat Drive Yards ship building facilities, vital to the Empire's war effort. Some of the many Astromech droids in KDY's droid pool had been inserted by Republic slicers, and uploaded a computer virus into the networks of the Event Horizon and four other Kuati Force warships. Once the virus was installed, a transmission was sent to the Republic Surprise Squadron, composed of RZ-1 A-wing interceptor armed with Ion torpedoes. Surprise Squadron arrived in the Kuat system, and their Ion weaponry soon overloaded four warships, while the virus installed in the Event Horizon and the other inflicted ships caused them to lock down their hangars and aim their batteries at the remaining Kuati warships. When hailed by a repersentative of the New Republic, Kuati officials seceded as they faced an enemy who could disable nine warships, one of them the Event Horizon, from their defence force.
