Havoc (Strike-class)

The Strike-class Cruiser Havoc was part of Admiral Devlia's command on Vladet, in the Rachuk system. It intercepted the Customs Frigate Battle of Yavin in the nearby Hensara system, causing the New Republic ship to land on the surface of Hensara III to avoid engagement. Havoc landed a ground team, including an AT-AT walker, to search out the frigate, and then departed the system. The cruiser later returned to Hensara, refitted with two hanger bays and carrying 36 fighters (24 TIE Fighters, 6 TIE Interceptors and 6 TIE Bombers). The New Republic were in the process of a rescue operation, so Havoc launched its fighter compliment, but did not engage the enemy itself. Rogue Squadron pounced on the TIE's, and eventually destroyed all but two of the ships sent by Havoc, two Interceptors.

As significant as the loss was at Hensara, the Havoc itself was untouched, and ready to be called on again. With the discovery of the New Republic base on Talasea, in the Morobe system, Admiral Devlia had sent a small force to destroy the establishment. The mission became another failure for Devlia, but it did cause Rogue Squadron and the other New Republic troops there to abandon the base. Havoc and the Interdictor-class Cruiser Black Asp then escorted a larger force to secure the planet. This turned into another massive tactical error for Admiral Devlia, as Vladet was left virtually undefended, and vulnerable to attack, an opertunity in which the New Republic took quick advantage of.
