The Squib Reclamation Fleet was an arm of the Squib Merchandising Consortium, the body that governed the Squibs. The fleet was composed primarily of tapered, Squib-designed needle ships cobbled together from pieces of salvage. Each needle ship was crewed by 20 Squibs and held enough consumables for three months. The flagship at some point before the Galactic Civil War was the Wholesale; after the Battle of Yavin, it was the Thrifty. This latter ship was the personal craft of King Ebareebaveebeedee and thus served as the Squib Momship. Squib Reclamation vessels were rarely equipped with weapons, instead relying on skilled tractor beam operation for defense.
