Flurry

Flurry was a Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser that was converted into a starfighter carrier. The ship was equipped with military-grade deflector shields, but its only weapons were a pair of heavy turbolaser cannons. Nearly 50 starfighters could be held within is single large hangar bay.

The ship was originally a bulk cruiser, designed, built, and used by the SoroSuub Corporation. Near the end of the Virgillian Civil War, the ship was donated to the Virgillian Free Alignment, which converted it into a carrier. The ship, under the command of Captain Tessa Manchisco, served with distinction.



After the end of the Virgillian Civil War, Flurry was donated to the Rebel Alliance for use in the Battle of Endor. The Rebels further upgraded the ship with a Battle Analysis Computer (BAC), an invention of General Jan Dodonna. The BAC could be connected to every navigational and combat computer in a task force, allowing it to display detailed composite images of a battle. Following the Battle of Endor, Flurry served as the flagship of the Alliance's Bakura task force sent to save the Outer Rim world of Bakura from a Ssi-Ruuvi invasion. It was only assigned whatever starfighters were still operational following the Battle of Endor. Flurry received 20 X-wings (including the famed Rogue Squadron), three A-wings, and four B-wings. Although the B-wings were likely to break down (because there was not enough time to give them a full maintenance overhaul), the Alliance felt that they gave the task force much needed firepower. A CR90 Corellian Corvette and five DP-20 Corellian Gunships rounded out the task force.

At the Battle of Bakura, Flurry and its task force allied with local Imperial forces to successfully drive off the Ssi-Ruuvi invaders. Following the Ssi-Ruuvi defeat, the Imperial Carrack-class light cruiser Dominant turned its guns upon Flurry, destroying the unsuspecting Rebel ship. All hands were lost onboard, and were posthumously decorated for their heroic sacrifice.
