Auric

The Auric was a Rebel Alliance starship active during the Galactic Civil War. Piloted by Commander Lina Graf, the Auric had a five member crew that included the technician Skritt, Lieutenant Hudd, the former bodyguard droid XM-G3 and Graf's long-time companion, the droid CR-8R.

On one occasion, the ship's crew found themselves pursued by a group of three TIE fighters. Serving as gunner, XM-G3 successfully destroyed the enemy ships, but not before they took out the Auric's shields and power core. With these critical systems out, Graf was forced the make an emergency landing on the Imperial-controlled volcanic planet of Mustafar. The Auric landed in one of Mustafar's lava fields and quickly overheated, forcing the crew to evacuate against the recommendation of CR-8R. Years later, while serving as Head Curator of the Graf Archives, Lina Graf recorded in her journal that her experience on Mustafar was the most frightening of all her adventures.

Behind the scenes
The Auric first appeared in the 2018 comic Tales from Vader's Castle 1. Notably, the ship shares its name with Auric Graf, the father of its captain Lina Graf.
