An Interdictor can prevent enemy scouts or forces from escaping, but only if it survives long enough to perform that specialist role. It should accompany attacks on rebel bases and protect strategic assets such as the Death Star from discovery. One proposed formation places the Interdictor between two fighter-heavy Secutor-class ships while it traps intruders. Part of the air group attacks the immobilized enemy while the rest maintains a defensive screen. Mutually supporting capabilities create a task group more effective than isolated prestige ships.

Interdictors make sense inside a coherent task group
Pairing an Interdictor with fighter-heavy escorts turns a specialist ship into the center of a force that can contain scouts and protect a strategic asset.
