New Star

The New Star was a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate in the Imperial Navy. In 0 ABY the vessel was assigned to protect a convoy of 13 medium and heavy transports, including Transport A-175, from an assembly point within Bormea sector to a destination within the Outer Rim Territories. Unfortunately for Captain Miech Conar and the rest of the crew of the New Star, this convoy was the target of a trap perpetrated by the Rebel Privateer vessel Far Orbit. The convoy was hijacked, and the New Star captured.
