The '''''Horizon''''' is a Star Destroyer of the [[Victory II-class Star Destroyer|''Victory II''-class]], retired from active Imperial service years ago, and operated by a private military until it was acquired by the Rebel Alliance. She is a member of the [[103rd Interdictor Squadron]]: part of [[Task Force 75]]. Unlike many Imperial vessels of her type, she does not carry a large contingent of ground forces, saccrificing her landing barges for a third Squadron of fighters, and carrying only a quarter of her standard compliment of troops.

Launched in [[24 BE]], the ''Horizon'' was a member of the Victory Fleet: a formation of the first vessels of her class launched under Captains [[Jan Dodonna]] and [[Terrinald Screed]] during the [[Clone Wars]]. Deployed to counter the Separatist [[Bulwark-class Battlecruiser|''Bulwark''-class Battlecruiser]]s, the ''Horizon'' participated in a number of key battles during the latter stages of the conflict.
+
Liberated by the Rebel Alliance from the navy of the Corporate Sector Authority, the ''Horizon'' had been modified and equipped to serve as an interdictor and patrol ship. The Rebellion exploited that configuration, deploying the ship as part of an Interdictor Squadron to harass and disrupt Imperial supply lines, first along the Hydian Way, and later along the Perlemian Trade Route.
  
−
Along with many of her sister ships, she passed directly from Republic to Imperial service at the close of the war, and continued in that capacity for several years. However, with [[Rendili StarDrive]] eventually losing out on numerous production contracts to [[Kuat Drive Yards]], the class was ultimately made redundant and was replaced with other classes of Star Destroyer, such as the much larger [[Imperial I-class Star Destroyer|''Imperator'']], and the smaller but similarly-equipped [[Vindicator-class Star Destroyer|''Vindicator'']]. Some members of the class were refit, trading out missiles and atmospheric capabilities for ship-to-ship armaments as part of an upgrade to a [[Victory II-class Star Destroyer|''Victory II''-class]] configuration, before being deployed to the Outer Rim. Others were were retired from Imperial service, and were placed in mothballs at various salvage facilities. The remainder however - including the ''Horizon'' - were sold off to independant parties, such as the navies of neutral or unaligned planets, or Imperial Moffs seeking to reinforce their sector forces through private means.
+
The ship was immediately placed under the command of [[Vansen Tyree]], who had been conducting similar operations for years aboard the ''[[Valiant]]''. His Interdictor Squadron met with considerable success, and Tyree's flair for small-fleet tactics saw him involved in the mission to liberate Bothawui from Imperial occupation.

The ''Horizon'' was one of the vessels sold; she was purchased by the Corporate Sector Authority, and deployed on anti-piracy and interdiction missions for several years. Eventually however she fell on the wrong side of fluxuations in the Corporate Sector budget; fifteen months after Battle of Endor, she was axed from service there as well. The intention was for the ''Horizon'' to be stripped of any useful systems and resources, and then set on a collision course with the nearest star. The Rebel Alliance intervened however, and was able to appropriate the craft while still in moderate working order; they were able to commendeer the ship and jump away before the Corporate Sector could respond and stop them.
+
Joined by additional support ships, the ''Horizon'' led a small force against the planet Bothawui itself, while the bulk of the Third Fleet engaged the Bothan Sector Fleet at Mandal. The ruse provoked the Imperials into leaving the Bothan homeworld woefully unprotected, allowing the ''Horizon'' - in concert with Bothan insurgents and SpecForce teams - to userp power from [[Ceto Rübezahl|the local Moff]], and drive the Empire into retreat.
  
−
Requiring the ship to be active as swiftly as possible, the ship underwent a rushed series of repairs and rennovations at the Mon Calamari Shipyards before being pressed into service. Command was given to Captain [[Vansen Tyree]] - a Republic and Imperial veteran who had formerly served as Exectutive Officer aboard one of the ships in the Victory Fleet. Along with his new ship he gained command of the [[103rd Interdictor Squadron]], to which the vessel was assigned. ([http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19034 Two Roads Diverged...])

Returning to interdictor operations, the ''Horizon'' played host to [[Jaden Luka|a pilot]] from [[Rogue Squadron]] who, at the request of Tyree - promoted to Commodore for his service at Bothawui - was to help convert one of the ''Horizon'' squadrons onto the new [[RZ-2 A-Wing Interceptor|Mark 2 A-Wing]].

As part of the 103rd, the ''Horizon'' participated in the [[Battle of Bothawui]]. Following a distraction assault at Mandal by a large Rebel fleet - drawing the bulk Imperial forces away from Bothawui itself - the ''Horizon'' and her escorts jumped in-system. With much of the Imperial ships gone, the Moff was forced to rely on Bothan-controlled vessels for defense; efforts by Rebel boarding parties and Bothan insurgents amongst the crew were able to overthrow Imperial control of those vessels, allowing the Squadron to make the system secure in advance of the arrival of Rebel ground forces.

When Commodore Tyree was reassigned to command the escort group defending [[The Wheel]], he transferred his flag to the ''[[Challenger]]'' in the process.

―Vansen Tyree

The Horizon is a Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, operated by the Rebel Alliance. It was commanded by Line Captain Vansen Tyree for roughly a year, and served as the command ship during the Liberation of Bothawui. Tyree has since transferred his flag to the Challenger; the Horizon was assigned to the Fourth Fleet, becoming part of a flotilla commanded by Soto Terius.

History

Liberated by the Rebel Alliance from the navy of the Corporate Sector Authority, the Horizon had been modified and equipped to serve as an interdictor and patrol ship. The Rebellion exploited that configuration, deploying the ship as part of an Interdictor Squadron to harass and disrupt Imperial supply lines, first along the Hydian Way, and later along the Perlemian Trade Route.

The ship was immediately placed under the command of Vansen Tyree, who had been conducting similar operations for years aboard the Valiant. His Interdictor Squadron met with considerable success, and Tyree's flair for small-fleet tactics saw him involved in the mission to liberate Bothawui from Imperial occupation.

Joined by additional support ships, the Horizon led a small force against the planet Bothawui itself, while the bulk of the Third Fleet engaged the Bothan Sector Fleet at Mandal. The ruse provoked the Imperials into leaving the Bothan homeworld woefully unprotected, allowing the Horizon - in concert with Bothan insurgents and SpecForce teams - to userp power from the local Moff, and drive the Empire into retreat.

Returning to interdictor operations, the Horizon played host to a pilot from Rogue Squadron who, at the request of Tyree - promoted to Commodore for his service at Bothawui - was to help convert one of the Horizon squadrons onto the new Mark 2 A-Wing.

When Commodore Tyree was reassigned to command the escort group defending The Wheel, he transferred his flag to the Challenger in the process. The fighter squadrons aboard Horizon - Viper and Raptor - and one of the escorts from the Interdictor Squadron were reassigned with him; the remainder of the force was absorbed into the Fifth Fleet, stationed in defense of Bothawui.

Some months later, the Horizon was placed under the command of Line Captain Soto Terius, as part of his Destiny Task Force.
