Crimson Jack's battlecruiser

This vessel was an Imperial battlecruiser which was damaged during a battle with the Rebel Alliance, and left adrift.

After the battle, it was discovered by the space pirate Crimson Jack and his gang, who proceded to kill the remaining crewmembers and use the vessel as their own base of operations.

They captured the Millennium Falcon with a tractorbeam, and were lured to the planet Drexel II where Han Solo claimed a secret Rebel treasury would be found.

This venture turned out to be a trap and a failure for Crimson Jack, as his ship was permanently damaged when his second-in-command, Jolli, betrayed him and rammed the ship's command tower with her Y-wing starfighter.

The hulk would be left to drift in orbit of Drexel II, where it presumably crashed some time later.

Behind the Scenes
Since this vessel was left to drift at the end of the Drexel II-storyline, this might have been the derelict Star Battlecruiser mentioned as being picked apart for generator-parts by the Rebel Alliance, which later used these components to power Echo Base. No official connection between these ships have ever been made.
