Esseles (starship)

The Esseles was a Galactic Republic Wanderer-class transport in operation during the Cold War.

At some point during the war, while carrying Republic Ambassador Vyn Asara, it was attacked by one of the largest warships in the entire Sith fleet. Claiming that the Ambassador was a terrorist, the Sith boarded the ship in an attempt to arrest her. When the troops aboard the ship fought back, the Sith under the leadership of the ruthless Mandalorian mercenary Ironfist seized the bridge and put the ship under a security lockdown. After cancelling the lockdown, the ships' troops managed to retake the bridge.

Crew
The following were members of the crew of the Esseles c.3,641 BBY

 * Navigator Plex - Chief Navigator
 * Communications Officer Raste
 * Chief Engineer Salen
 * Crewman Vepp - Engineering Crewman

Behind the scenes
There are two possible ways to bypass the security lockdown. The Dark Side way uses a reactor reset which kills everyone on the engineering deck. The other, being the Path of the Light Side, is to shut down all the secondary power conduits which are scattered throughout the ship.
