Mersel Kebir

The Mersel Kebir was the flagship of the Rendili Home Defense Fleet. At the time of the Clone Wars, it was under the command of Captain Jace Dallin. Other officers included Lieutenant Mellor Yago, and Gallan.

Following the Battle of Rendili, the Mersel Kebir joined the Republic Navy with the rest of the Rendili fleet.

Behind the scenes
The Mersel Kebir was no doubt named after the World War II Battle of Mers-el-Kebir, which saw the British Navy open fire on the Vichy French fleet after failing to convince the French officers to hand their ships over to the British - a situation that parallels the Battle of Rendili.
