Pelagia

Pelagia was a New Republic troopship under the command of Captain Tekba. It was an old hulk by the standards of its captain, who estimated that his vessel took about half an hour to reach lightspeed.

It was carrying 100,000 soldiers, as well as their ground equipment and armor, to the Outer Rim to aid in the besieging of an Imperial shipyard in 11 ABY. The ship was linking up with a X-wing flight group based out of the Ottegan system when Captain Tekba received word from General Lando Calrissian that it was going to be hit by a missile, shot from Emperor Palpatine's Galaxy Gun.

When Tekba brought up that the craft couldn't escape in time, Calrissian urged him to attempt to destroy it. Despite its fighters and defensive guns putting up a valiant effort, the missile still hit Pelagia and destroyed the vessel, along with its crew and passengers.
