| abstract | - HIMS Conqueror was first deployed in 3 ABY under the command of Captain Saz Filborn, fresh from the Fleet Yards at Yaga Minor. It was assigned to the Imperial Fifth Fleet, charged with defending the crucial hyperspace route known as the Tarkin Corridor. In the early days of the Galactic Civil War, Conqueror was regional defense only, and was to be based from Selene until after the Battle of Endor. With the Empire suddenly in chaos, Captain Filborn remained loyal to the Imperial Ruling Council, and directed Conqueror away from Selene to Imperial Center, just scant hours before his superior officer, Fleet Admiral Jard Kisal, went "warlord" and renegade. The majority of Imperial Fifth Fleet, infected by Kisal's panic, jumped towards the Inner Rim and into tumultuous history. Meanwhile, Conqueror's arrival at Imperial Center was met with skeptical enthusiasm, and she was promptly employed with six other sister ships to form the nucleus of the makeshift capital's defense fleet. The next few weeks saw over three hundred ships of all classes rally at this location, with Conqueror tapped as a Section Flagship. At several instances, battle sections and task forces would depart to go quell uprisings, or deal with rogue warlords, or to do battle with the surging Rebel Alliance, but for the most part, time was spent on guard duty and keeping training up to standard.
