Braha ' tok The Braha ' tok was a " Braha ' tok " - class gunship under the command of Kiles L ' toth in the Dornean Navy . In 4 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance , the planet Dornea loaned the " Braha ' tok " — along with its sister ship , the " Torktarak " — to the Alliance Fleet for its attack on the second Death Star battlestation above the Forest Moon of Endor . During the battle , the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser " Liberty " was destroyed by the Death Star ' s superlaser , and , trying to save survivors , L ' toth moved the " Braha ' tok " into a defensive formation to cover rescue craft . While providing cover , the " Braha ' tok " engaged and destroyed the " Carrack " - class light cruiser " Eminence " with the help of the " Torktarak " . However , the " Braha ' tok " took extensive damage during the battle and , following the Alliance ' s eventual victory , was shipped back to Dornea to serve as a war museum . Description . Manufactured by the Dornean Braha ' ket Fleetworks Conglomerate , the " Braha ' tok " was a " Braha ' tok " - class gunship in the Dornean Navy during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire . The " Braha ' tok " was ninety meters long and was equipped with eight double turbolasers and eight concussion missiles . It possessed limited hangar space and lacked ground troop complement . The ship came equipped with fire control , maneuvering , and command capabilities , all of which were centralized in the bridge . The " Braha ' tok " was also equipped with engines that were capable of making the jump to hyperspace . History . In 4 ABY , the Alliance Fleet asked Dornea — which had been fighting its own private war against the Empire for years — for battleships to assist them in their upcoming assault on the second Death Star , an Imperial superweapon that could destroy an entire planet , which was still under construction while orbiting the forest moon of Endor . The Dornean s decided to send the " Braha ' tok " along with its sister ship , the " Torktarak " , under the command of Kiles L ' toth and Etahn A ' baht , respectively . Since the " Braha ' tok " - class gunships had not been outside of the space surrounding Dornea before 4 ABY , and to avoid arousing the suspicion of Imperial Intelligence , the Dornean government claimed that the two ships were undergoing a " shakedown cruise . " The " Braha ' tok " and the " Torktarak " met up with the Alliance Fleet orbiting Sullust , which was under the command of the Mon Calamarian Admiral Gial Ackbar . Both of the Braha ' tok gunships left with the Alliance fleet for the Endor system . However , when the Alliance fleet came out of hyperspace over Endor , they were caught in a trap devised by Emperor Palpatine . The Alliance discovered that the shield protecting the second Death Star , which was supposed to have been taken down by a ground unit that had already landed on Endor , was still up . Also , the Alliance fleet was met by a large Imperial fleet under the command of Admiral Firmus Piett , which trapped them in the system . The Alliance fleet engaged the Imperials , hoping the shield generator would be taken down by the ground strike team before the Imperial fleet defeated them . During the space battle , the MC80 " Liberty " type Star Cruiser " Liberty " was destroyed by the Death Star ' s superlaser , which the Alliance hadn ' t known was functional . In order to provide cover for the rescue shuttles picking up survivors , L ' toth moved the " Braha ' tok " into a defensive formation . While providing cover , the " Braha ' tok " held off the " Carrack " – class cruiser " Eminence " , which was more than three times the size of the " Braha ' tok " . The ship took extensive damage while engaging the " Eminence " , but the " Braha ' tok " and the " Torktarak " were able to destroy the " Eminence " after the " Torktarak " attacked the Imperial warship from behind . After the " Eminence " was destroyed , the " Torktarak " continued to provide cover for the damaged " Braha ' tok " while it continued its search - and - rescue mission . The Alliance fleet eventually destroyed the second Death Star and won the battle after the superweapon ' s shields were finally disabled by the ground team on Endor . Following the battle , Ackbar wished to scuttle the severely damaged " Braha ' tok " . However , upon the insistence from the Dornean Navy , it was returned to Dornea to be converted into a war museum . Commanders and crew . The " Braha ' tok " had a crew of seventy - five Dornean navy personnel under the command of Kiles L ' toth . After the Battle of Endor , the " Braha ' tok " conversion into a war museum led to L ' toth ' s retirement from the Dornean navy . Behind the scenes . The " Braha ' tok " was created in Ello137 ' s winning entry in the StarWars . com feature , " What ' s The Story ? " . The campaign allowed fans to provide the backstory for certain aspects of the saga ; in this case , the " Braha ' tok " - class gunships . Originally , Ello137 intended the ship ' s name to be a mythical Dornean name , but was unable to fit it into the " flow " of his final entry . The information on the " Braha ' tok " from Ello137 ' s entry was later used in the entry on the " Braha ' tok " - class gunship included in the reference book " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " . In , a " Braha ' tok " - class gunship appears in the background during the space battle over Endor . However , the gunship has never been identified as either the " Braha ' tok " or the " Torktarak " .
