Raddus (MC85 Star Cruiser)

The Raddus, formerly known as the Dawn of Tranquility, was an MC85 Star Cruiser that served as the flagship of General Leia Organa. It was used by the Resistance during its war against the First Order. It was one of the last ships built before the signing of the Military Disarmament Act by the Galactic Empire and New Republic.

It was a part of the New Republic's home fleet, before being retired and remodeled by the Resistance to be less crew intensive, eliminating systems and computerization deemed unnecessary. In large part of these modifications, it was considered a valued resource within the Resistance's cause.

Immediately after the destruction of Starkiller Base, the Raddus participated to the evacuation of D'Qar. While Poe Dameron and a team of bombers engaged the retaliating First Order forces, the remaining Resistance personnel was successfully transferred to the orbiting ship. The Raddus jumped to lightspeed, but much to everyone's surprise, was tracked through hyperdrive by the Supremacy, Snoke's massive flagship, and attacked.

Its bridge was destroyed during an attack carried out by Kylo Ren along with two wingmen, killing many resistance officers including Gial Ackbar and almost taking the life of Organa, who managed to get back onboard through the vacuum of space with the force. Upon arrival at Crait, the ship was evacuated through shuttles. Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo decided to stay and command the lost vessel. When the Supremacy started to target the fleeing shuttles, Holdo turned the Raddus and rammed the Mega-class Star Destroyer at lightspeed, destroying both ships and several of the escorting Resurgent-class Star Destroyers.
