Interdictor vessel

"EMPIRE HAS ORDERED A SYSTEMWIDE BLOCKADE TO SEIZE REBEL SPIES. INTERDICTOR CRUISERS EN ROUTE. ALL SHIPS THAT DEPART PRIOR TO IMPERIAL INSPECTION WILL BE NOTED."

- Message from R2-D2

Interdictor cruiser was a general term for a class of vessels employed by the Galactic Empire capable of generating a gravity well capable of disabling hyperspace capabilities in vessels.

Interdictor cruisers had the same general shape as a Star Destroyer, but were much smaller. They featured four gravity-well projectors which were employed both to pull vessels out of hyperspace and keep them from making the jump to hyperspace.

Specific types of Interdictor cruisers included the CC-7700 frigate, the Detainer CC-2200 Interdictor Cruiser and the Immobilizer 418.
