Emancipator (CR90 corvette)

Emancipator was a Corellian Corvette used by the Rebels during the early days of the Galactic Civil War.

When the slave ship Helot's Shackle was captured over Ylesia by Bria Tharen and her Red Hand Squadron she renamed the ship Emancipator in homage to freeing the slaves that were on their way to the spice-mines of Kessel.

The newly christened Rebel vessel participated in the Battle of Ylesia where Bria Tharen freed all the pilgrims from the spice-factories and the t'landa Til Exultation.

Behind the scenes
There is a scene in Rebel Dawn where Bria Tharen is talking to her superior officer about renaming the ship Emancipator. But then later on in the story, the captured corvette is referred to as Retribution. This seems to be either an editorial or writer error since the Retribution was Bria Tharen's Marauder-class corvette.
