With the aid of Padawan Bastila Shan's battle meditation, the flotilla engaged a force of ten Sith Interdictor-class cruisers. Though outgunned, the Hammerhead cruisers and Foray-class frigates of Dodonna's force managed to hold their own long enough for the boarding party, led by Shan and Captain Laera Reyolé of the Republic Marines, to seize a foothold on Darth Revan's flagship. In the battle that followed, Rapier suffered considerable damage when the vessel was raked by turbolaser fire.
