Ranger V
New Republic vessel.
History
Part of a New Republic Defence Fleet task force led by the Calamari Cruiser Valiant, which came under attack by Imperial forces led by the Victory Star Destroyer Kingpin. Engaged Imperial forces to buy time for the command ships. Republic Shield forces responded to the New Republic distress call, and defended the task force, engaging the Imperial task force. The arrival of Republic Shield reinforcements in the form of the Frigate Unforgiven and the Strike Cruiser Kayak realised victory in the battle, destroying the Imperial task force and capturing the Imperial command ship. However the victory was not without price, as several of the New Republic craft were destroyed in the confrontation, including the corvette Solaris II. Destroyed by Imperial forces. (RgF401)
