Legend

this was the Centax-class heavy frigate that was assigned as Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon's flagship during the Old Republic's mission to liberate Praesitlyn from the Separatists, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Ranger was equipped with the latest in weapons and auxiliary systems technology, and was one of the fastest frigates in the fleet. Its primary armament was a pair of MG1-A proton torpedo tubes, which were supplemented by a full complimentof laser cannon batteries. However, the Ranger and her crew were unprepared for the tactics of the Separatists, who used skirmisher vessels to breech the hull of the Ranger and several other ships. These skirmishers then disgorged battle droids into the boarded vessels. Only the timely actions of Jedi Master Halcyon saved the crew, defeating the battle droids and allowing the Ranger to limp away to a safe location to begin repairs.
