Legend

an Alliance Nebulon-B frigate used as a medical ship, the Redemption was one of the medical ships which was part of the fleet which massed just outside the rim of the galaxy, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth. It was aboard this ship that Luke Skywalker received his prosthetic hand, after surviving his first battle with Darth Vader on Cloud City. Like many ships in the Alliance's fleet, the Redemption had been refitted for its particular duty, with many hangar bays and weapons stations being converted into sick bays and medical facilities. The Redemption joined the full Alliance fleet near Sullust, just prior to the Battle of Endor. It was assigned to assist the wounded from Briggia during Operation Strike Fear. The mission later became one of the New Republic's training scenarios, nicknamed the Requiem scenario because very few pilots survive the simulation.
