Gorgon functioned as an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate within the ranks of the Imperial Navy throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War. The Gorgon received orders to intercept the CR90 corvette Bixby to halt its defection while a Rebel assault took place on an Imperial convoy situated close to the Dellalt system. Nevertheless, the Gorgon's arrival was delayed, and it could not stop the Rebels from fleeing with the newly acquired vessel.
