Negra Star was an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate which served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Some captured Sullustan technical staff were being transferred to the Negra Star and the Nebulon-B frigate Warspite for transportation to Coruscant. The Alliance decided to mount a rescue operation and sent a lone Y-wing, flown by Keyan Farlander, to identify which transports were carrying the Sullustans and to disable them. Farlander then fought TIEs launched from the nearby frigates while Rebel transports rescued the prisoners.
