Kaar

"It must the one we want. it's got a pair of A-wings escorts!"

- Imperial

Kaar was a modified Corellian YT-1300 transport used by a Rebel spy during the Galactic Civil War.

Description
"The individual we want is flying a modified YT-1300 transport that has been modified for extra speed."

- Imperial briefing officer

Beyond the appearance of a normal YT-1300, the transport had been modified to be fast enough to outrun Assault Gunboats.

History
"Quickly, Delta 1, stop that other Corellian transport"

- Imperial

The transport was used by a Rebel Spy and decided to take shelter in a XQ3 Platform called AZ 77 that officially was a salvage yard near Venzeiia 2 Prime. However Imperial Intelligence tracked the spy to the platform. Fully aware that the transport can outrun Assaulte Gunboats, they send a TIE Defender, equipped with a tractor beam to hamper maneuverability. After fellow ships Lin and Ko were disabled, the Kaar along with two A-wings from Rogue Squadron left the platform and the transport attempted to make the jump to Hyperspace. However, despite the Rebel escorts the transport was disabled by the TIE Defender and a Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transport arrived to board and capture the freighter to be brought back for "processing". The platform was seized shortly afterwards for harbouring criminals and fugitives by forces lead by Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin.

Legacy
The events surrounding the Kaar and its capture, along with the platform were recorded and recreated for the Combat chamber to train future pilots. Maarek Stele was one of those who took the training mission to learn how to utilize the tractor beam.
