Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier

The Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier, also known as the Imperial light carrier, was a massive ship used by the Galactic Empire both as a starfighter carrier and a mobile base of operations. It resembled a triangle, with the bridge at the frontal point and the hangars at the base. The Empire used such carriers in orbit of occupied planets, allowing for easy dispatch of fighters whenever necessary. In the third year before the Battle of Yavin the Spectres, alongside Cham Syndulla of the Free Ryloth movement, stole a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier in orbit of Ryloth for the rebellion.

The stolen ship became the flagship of Phoenix Squadron and used to house their A-Wings. It was also repainted by the rebels to show its new affiliation. The cruiser-carrier and the rest of the Phoenix rebel fleet was later attacked by Imperial forces under Admiral Kassius Konstantine. The cruiser-carrier later hosted the Spectres' starship, the Ghost, which had returned with stolen fuel supplies from Horizon Base. After Commander Jun Sato and Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla received information from the inventory droid AP-5 that the Imperials had set a trap in the Yost system, the starship fled with the rest of the rebel fleet to the planet Atollon.
