The Chiss Freighter Pride of the Ascendancy exited hyperspace early from it's scheduled destination. It had been pulled out by a gravity well, not something odd within the Redoubt.
"Recalculating exit vector captain based on new gravity well data." The ships navigator said as he got to work trying to get the ship back into hyperspace.
The crewmen manning the sensor station raised an eyebrow and turned to the captain. "Sir, the gravity well data were getting is strange. It's decentralized. It doesn't have a source and the gravity waves aren't coming from a central point. It's very confusing."
The captain shrugged. "Flag it as a navigational anomaly and get us out of it."
The crew acknowledged and the massive freighter started to move. Not for long however. A burst of energy emanated from an invisible point, striking the ship's engines and exploding with tremendous force. The Pride of the Ascendancy's engines cut out and the ship started drifting. 4 more turbolaser blasts struck the freighter amidships and her unshielded hull was torn asunder by the bolts of energy. Air began spilling from the hull breaches.
A proton torpedo appeared out of nowhere and struck her bow, knocking the ship of coarse and causing more hull breaches. The freighter was adrift, of coarse and losing power rappidly. At this point their attackers revealed themselves. A Warbird-Class republic cruiser decloaked next to the freighter. It was jet black with the words "End of All Hope" stenciled in crimson paint on either side of the bow.
