Description
A Defender-class cruiser built by the Mon Calamari shipyards, which served the New Republic. The ship was about nine hundred ninety-six meters long and two hundred seventeen meters wide; it carried three main and eight auxiliary engines, a hyperdrive, four hangars, X-wing starfighters, and Aurek interceptors.
The crew consisted of New Republic officers, pilots, soldiers, and guards, as well as a protocol droid and astromech droids. The ship was commanded by Captain Hale; among those known to have served aboard are Jensen Korbit, Jakris, and the droid R-D3.
The cruiser was tasked with transporting the prisoner Morgan Elsbeth and rendezvousing with the ship Home One, but in 9 ABY, in sector G-38, it was intercepted by Baylan Skoll and his apprentice Shin Hati. They killed the guards, disabled the ship, and took Elsbeth away.
