The Bacchus III was a Republic light assault cruiser commanded by Captain Joe. Externally rather battered looking with worn paint and rusted panels, the Bacchus III was actually rather well-maintained and in top condition. Because of Joe's numerous modifications to the ship (many well outside of what would be considered safe for the class), it was considerably faster and better armed then a regular ship of the class.

| - The Bacchus III was a Republic light assault cruiser commanded by Captain Joe. Externally rather battered looking with worn paint and rusted panels, the Bacchus III was actually rather well-maintained and in top condition. Because of Joe's numerous modifications to the ship (many well outside of what would be considered safe for the class), it was considerably faster and better armed then a regular ship of the class. Launched as a diplomatic courier ship, like many of the class, the Bacchus III was refitted to serve as a gunship and escort vessel by the Republic's navy. Sometime around 30 BBY, the ship came under the command of the hard-drinking Joe. Both captain and vessel served the Republic with distinction during the Clone Wars. After the end of the war, Joe defected to the Rebel Alliance, taking his ship with him. Desperate for vessels and skilled crew, the fledgling Alliance accepted both captain and ship with enthusiasm. In the service of the Rebels, the Bacchus III served in all manner of roles from gunship to smuggler to blockade runner to whatever else that Joe happily volunteered his ship for. In addition to serving as commander, Joe often would pilot the ship himself. This only changed after Ken joined the crew, the fugitive Wolf Raider proving to be an excellent pilot. The ship's finest hour came during the attack on the Wolf Raiders' command center, where the Bacchus III led the assault. The ship bombarded the Wolf Raider defenses, disabling them and many of their W-Wing Starfighters before the enemy had a chance to act. Due to the actions of the crew and ship, the Rebel casualties were virtually non-existent, while the Wolf Raiders were all but wiped out.
