While under the command of Captain Zsinj, Zsinj developed the tactic of fending off a starfighter attack by flying the ship through an asteroid field—when the fighters moved in to attack, the ship would target asteroids close to the fighters with its turbolasers, causing them to explode and damage or destroy nearby fighters.
When Zsinj was promoted to Admiral and received a new flagship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Brawl, which he renamed to Iron Fist after this original ship. The Victory-class Iron Fist was later assigned to Captain Ferob under Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Unknown Regions, where it was involved in Thrawn's pacification of UR41-284.
