Profundity

The Profundity was a MC75 cruiser owned by Admiral Raddus that served in the Alliance Fleet. It was notably present during the Battle of Scarif. Shortly after the Death Star plans were transmitted to Raddus, the vessel was disabled by the Star Destroyer Devastator and boarded by Darth Vader in an attempt to reclaim the stolen data tapes.

As the Dark Lord stormed the corridors of the starship, a small group of Rebel troopers were able to evacuate on board the Tantive IV, relinquishing the plans to Princess Leia Organa.

History
Originally, the Profundity was the Civic Governance tower of the city of Nystullum. Like many Mon Calamari buildings, the tower was converted into a ship and took part in the exodus from the Mon Calamari homeworld. When the Mon Calamari joined the Alliance, the ''Profundity was one of the first ships converted into a warship.

After the Rebel Fleet arrived at Scarif, the Profundity took part in the battle, as the battle concluded the Profundity intercepted the Death Star plans beamed to the ship by Jyn Erso of Rogue One. It was disabled and boarded by Darth Vader in an attempt to recover the plans, a few Rebel troopers were downloading the plans to a data tape. Just as the Rebels reached the door, the door jammed. A few moments after the door jammed, Vader arrived in the hallway. The rebels held Vader off until a trooper was able to pass the plans through the gap in the door.

Behind the scenes
Profundity first appeared in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story directed by Gareth Edwards and was first named in Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide by Pablo Hidalgo. Before coining the name, Hidalgo referred to the ship as the "Radisson" after its admiral.
