Historical Notes: Originally commissioned during the early High Republic days as a diplomatic escort cruiser designed for frontier stabilization and rapid-response operations. After military modification acts left many such vessels decommissioned or transferred, this cruiser eventually entered the service of the government and resistance forces of Ryloth. During the Incident at Ryloth, Darion seized the ship and escaped with it, later rebuilding it into a compact but heavily armed mobile fortress-carrier fit for Mandalorian warfare.
