The clash known as the Battle of Tantive V involved combatants from the New Republic facing off against Imperial troops led by Admiral Gaen Drommel.
In this engagement, two of the three Imperial-class Star Destroyers under Drommel's command met their end, whereas one, identified as the Wolf's Claw, was seized. Drommel's command ship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought named Guardian, sustained considerable damage, yet succeeded in withdrawing to Soullex. Admiral Drommel himself lived through the conflict. Subsequently, the Guardian was taken by the New Republic above Soullex and integrated into their naval forces.
