Salvation ( Nebulon - B ) The Salvation was a Nebulon - B frigate that served under the banner of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War , one of the first of many starships added to the growing Alliance Fleet . Originally a vessel of the Galactic Empire , the " Salvation " ' s service in the Imperial Navy was ended after its capture at the Skirmish over Ylesia . During its inauguration as the Rebel flagship , former Imperial senator - turned - Rebel fugitive Mon Mothma bestowed the name " Salvation " upon the frigate in order to symbolize the importance of the Rebel cause and their desperate struggle against the Empire . Characteristics . The " Salvation " was a large frigate capable of carrying various squads of Y - wings , Z - 95 Headhunter s and R - 22 Spearheads . It had various defense mechanisms such as force fields , defensive cannons , and turbolaser guns . The vessel was also fitted with a Fusion Accelerator cannon . History . First Test . Under the command of Juno Eclipse , a former Imperial Captain and pilot of the " Rogue Shadow " , the " Salvation " was first tested against Imperial forces at Cato Neimoidia . Although Captain Eclipse succeeded in achieving her mission objectives to test both her ship and crew in battle , the Empire ' s superior military and numbers forced the " Salvation " to withdraw , mainly due to the fact that the Alliance could not afford to lose what few ships it had at the time . The Battle on the " Salvation " . When Jedi General Rahm Kota and uncertain Starkiller arrived at the Alliance Fleet ' s hidden location in the Itani Nebula , the " Salvation " was attacked and boarded by Vader ' s experimental elite forces led by the bounty hunter Boba Fett . The ship ' s crew was caught completely off guard and were unable to prevent Fett and his troopers from storming the bridge and capturing Captain Eclipse . After " Slave I " succeeded in escaping from the ship with Fett and his prisoner , the Alliance Fleet pursued the bounty hunter to Kamino with General Kota in command of the " Salvation " . The ship ' s interior was heavily damaged by a Terror Walker , which cleaved / melted huge chunks out of the walls . Battle of Kamino . When The " Salvation " and the other Rebel ships arrived at Kamino , The " Salvation " was assaulted by many boarding parties . Starkiller was forced to eliminate all of the Imperial troopers that had infiltrated the " Salvation " ' s Hangar and engine and he succeeded . The ship ' s condition continued to deteriorate , losing Decks 8 - 12 due to the damage sustained . Its main cannon was disabled by a shot from an adjacent Star Destroyer , though Starkiller retaliated by charging up the cannon with Force lightning and firing a shot that blew the Destroyer in half . Destruction . Later during the battle , Kota ordered the remaining crew members to abandon the ship so that Starkiller could guide the " Salvation " directly into the planet in order to destroy its shields . The " Salvation " punched through the shields with ease , and despite the Imperial garrison ' s attempts to shoot it down before it ploughed into the city , the " Salvation " crashed directly into the shield generator , destroying it and much of the Timira City Cloning Facility ; the major fragments of debris were destroyed by Starkiller in order to prevent any harm from coming to Juno . With Kamino ' s defense grid destroyed by the " Salvation " ' s sacrifice , the Rebel forces invaded Kamino and despite the many casualties they suffered , the Alliance succeeded in winning the battle while Starkiller subdued Darth Vader himself . Interior . Being a massive mothership , the " Salvation ' s " internal structure is composed of different areas and locations . Engine Room . The Engine Room is a large room containing four turbine blasters and a large cooling fan at the top . It is in this area where the clone first fought the Terror Biodroid s , before going to the deeper parts of the Gearworks . Gearworks . The " Gearworks " area is a large room with a number of gear mechanization , such as electric conductors , gears , wheels , and spinning vents . But due to the attack of the Empire , several troopers and AT - MPs boarded and ambushed the engine room . With Starkiller ' s venture to the mothership , he entered the Gearworks and destroyed the unusable engine parts in order to proceed . Reactor Core . This is the room wherein Starkiller fought with the Terror Walker . However , this robot was being charged by the electric current coming from the generator itself , so Starkiller deactivated the generator and by charging the robot to its core , resulting the core to overload . Deck 7 . This was the docking bay of the ship . It houses several squadrons of starfighters . But due to the blockage of some imperial boarding pods , the ships cannot launch . With this , Rahm Kota ordered the clone to destroy all of the Imperial forces stucked in the docking bay . Bridge . The " Bridge " is a very long hallway which leads to the entrance of the main control room in the front area of the ship . This hallway tunnel has a platform which can be used for transport to the other side . In the clone ' s travel , the bridge itself was ambushed by Terror Drones jumping off from the ceiling . Control Room . This is the main command room wherein Kota and Juno give orders to the several passengers of the ship . It provides a view of the target location of the ship . From this point , the Starkiller clone provided a crashing point of the ship by deflecting all of the incoming debris until the " Salvation " reached the city of Timira . Behind the scenes . In the Wii version , the " Salvation " used the Assault Frigate model . The ship ' s destruction was depicted differently as well : Starkiller does not fall next to the ship - instead he rides it into the planetary shield generator and releases a massive force repulse which causes the destruction of the vessel . However , not all of the ship was actually destroyed by Starkiller , as he later used what remained of its hull as a " bridge " between Timira City ' s hangar dock and the main cloning facility . Also , Starkiller also had to stop several Incinerator war droid s from toasting the communication arrays of the ship .
