Immobilizer 418-class Light Cruiser Name/Type: Immobilizer-418 class Cruiser Designer/Manufacturer: Sienar Fleet Systems Combat Role: Light Cruiser Crew: 2,783 + 24 Gunners Length: 600 meters Speed: 60 MGLT Hyperdrive: x2 Shield Rating: 2880 SBD Hull Rating: 1056 RU Weapons: 20 Taim & Bak GX7 Quad Laser Cannons, 4 SFS G7-x Gravity Well Projectors. Fighter Complement: 2 Squadrons. Troops: 80 Stormtroopers. Support Craft: 1 Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle, 3 Stormtrooper Transports. Gravity well ships, also called interdictors, came into existance many months after the Battle of Yavin. After the Empire learned that it was possible to generate an artificial gravity well after an accidental discovery in the Sedri System, the data collected was researched for many months. Finally Imperial scientists discovered how to create gravity well generators, which were then mounted in the first gravity well ship, the newly constructed Immobilizer-418 cruisers. Interdictors are used by the Empire to prevent ships from entering hyperspace or to pull ships out of hyperspace into realspace into an ambush or customs inspection. They are placed on the perimeter of a battle area or potential battle area, giving the captains of the interdictors a clear view of the battle, so they can precisely target the placement of gravity wells to prevent Rebel ships from escaping into hyperspace. Gravity well ships are now a fairly common sight in the galaxy, and every fleet should have at least one. For armament, this speciality cruiser only has anti-fighter lasers, and needs to be guarded from other capital ships.
