Capsule: When the Empire finally developed a working hyperspace pulse-
mass generator, it was decided to use the design for the Interdictor
Cruiser as basis for a workable combat vessel. The main reason was that
the Interdictor Cruiser already had the necessary power output that was
necessary to run the HPG.

The following text is from the Imperial Sourcebook 1st ed. page 67:

"The generator produces tiny spheres of hyperenergy that are shot out
into an area of space. When ships traveling through hyperspace cross
the equivalent area of realspace, they come in contact with the
hyperenergy spheres. These spheres overwhelm the blocking capacity of
the ship's shields and shred the craft.
These hyperenergy spheres do not affect ships in realspace, but if a
ship enters a field of spheres and then jumps to lightspeed it comes
in contact with the deadly pulses.
A region mined with hyperenergy spheres is dangerous for only a few
minutes, for then the energy dissipates."

The Destructor Cruiser serves as an escape cut-off, strategically
stationed out of direct combat but in a position that provides a
maximum fire arc. It projects spheres of hyperenergy throughout a
battle zone, rendering it risky to jump to hyperspace. The usage of
this vessel makes it necessary for Rebel ships to stand and fight
their way out of the trap instead of using their normal hit-and-run
tactics and then escape into lightspeed.


Game Terms: The HPG can only fire one salvo each hour due to the immense
power demand.
