Fortressa

The Fortressa was a Lucrehulk-class battleship used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

Characteristics
The vessel had been modified from its original form and was used as a heavy fighter carrier by the Alliance. It carried at least 500 X-wing starfighters.

History
Fortressa made an ill-fated attempt at attacking the Death Star I battle station, launching its fighter complement in two large waves at it. When targeted by the Death Star's superlaser, the battleship was destroyed.

The data from its destruction was used by the Imperial researchers and officers onboard the Death Star to plan further tests of its primary weapon, increasing the amount of power used in each shot.
