Events
While Corran and Iella Horn searched for the Peregrine, they discovered that the Dominator, an Imperial Star Destroyer fractured mid-ship during the Battle of Arbra, was being refitted at Kuat Drive Yards as an Interdictor-class Star Destroyer. Rather than let such a vessel fall into the Empire's hands, Airen Cracken acted on the Horns' report and assigned elite commandos Judder Page and Basso to lead a team and take the Dominator out of Kuat Drive Yards.

The team consisted of Page, Basso, Brenn Tantor, Col Serra, Jan Ors, Deena Shan, and Shara. They flew Jerec's shuttle into Kuat Drive Yards, and from there, slipped aboard the Dominator, posing as a construction crew to supervise the final tests. Once aboard, they made their way to the bridge, and Brenn Tantor activated the ship-wide hull breach alarm and signaled all the work crews to abandon ship. Once everyone was clear, Deena Shan ignited the Dominator's engines, and Col Serra began piloting them out.

Kuat Drive Yards caught on quickly, and launched boarding shuttles. Page, Basso, Jan, and Shara ambushed the boarding parties in the hangar, keeping the fighting well away from the bridge. Brenn Tantor began activating the ship's automated defenses and programmed them to attack the KDY security teams. Meanwhile, Deena Shan plotted a hyperspace route, and Col Serra piloted the Dominator away from Kuat's gravity well. Once reasonably far away, Col engaged the unofficial shakedown jump of the Dominator. The micro-jump took them straight to the Rebel fleet's waiting ships. The surviving KDY security teams surrendered, and Bel Iblis rechristened the Dominator the Rebel Dream.

Now armed with an Interdictor-class Star Destroyer, Bel Iblis was able to step up his raids on Imperial supply lines. Rather than risk waiting in an Imperial system for a convoy to drop out of hyperspace, the Rebels could set up midway along the hyperspace route and pull the convoy out of lightspeed. Naming the Rebel Dream the new flagship of the fleet, Bel Iblis began a whole new campaign to divert Imperial supplies to worlds in need, and to obtain Imperial munitions for the Rebellion.
