Bothan Combat Response Element
this branch of the New Republic Navy was formed by a contingent of Bothans who were worried about the unrest which was sown by Imperial warlords in the years following the Battle of Endor. They were referred to within the New Republic military as a "micro-fleet," consisting of a number of advanced scouts and five capital ships, commanded by Kursk Mal'ia. The ships in the fleet - the Boash'ua, the Resistance, the Victory at Endor, the Hutt's Ambition, and the Ast'ria - were all on active duty at all times, ready to jump into a battle at a moment's notice. The value of the Bothan Combat Response Element was proven during the Battle of Kathol, when they were able to hold off the Imperial forces of Kathol Sector, while a ground team from the FarStar destroyed DarkStryder and Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne.
