Starhawk - class battleship The " Starhawk " - class battleship , also known as the Mark One Starhawk , was a type of battleship in service with the New Republic Defense Fleet . Like all the ships constructed at the Nadiri Dockyards , they were constructed from disassembled captured Imperial spacecraft . It was notable for being one of the first class of ships built by the New Republic , through military contract , after the Battle of Endor . By 5 ABY , at least three Starhawks had been constructed : the " Amity " , the " Concord " , and the " Unity " . The " Amity " and " Concord " were destroyed during the Battle of Jakku . Description . The " Starhawk " - class battleship was built from disassembled Imperial starship s that the New Republic had captured following the Battle of Endor . The front of the Starhawk was shaped liked a front hatchet . As a warship , the Starhawk was equipped with missiles and laser cannon s . The interior of the Starhawk had bright clean curves . The warship ' s docking bay ' s ceiling was sculpted in white scalloped edges and was fitted with warm , glow lighting . The docking bay ' s floors were also equipped with lighting . The Starhawk was classed as a battleship and was capable of taking on a Star Destroyer . The tractor beam of the Starhawk was equipped with magnite crystal s which gave it ten times the strength of a Star Destroyer . The Starhawk ' s tractor beam enabled it trap and move a ship many times its size . Despite its firepower , it was outclassed by an " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought . History . The Mark One Starhawk was one of the first capital ship s commissioned by the New Republic , the successor to the Alliance to Restore the Republic . They were constructed at the Nadiri Dockyards deep inside the Bormea sector for the New Republic Defense Fleet following the Battle of Endor . Following a difficult debate in the Galactic Senate , Chancellor Mon Mothma mustered enough votes to approve the scrapping of Imperial vessels in order to build new starship s , droid s , and weapons for the war effort against the Imperial remnants . The first Starhawk was " Concord " , which served as the command ship of Commodore Kyrsta Agate , who had been promoted following her role in the liberation of Akiva . During a skirmish near Wild Space in 5 ABY , Commodore Agate ' s Starhawk " Concord " and the Alderaanian escort frigate " Sunspire " destroyed Commander Valent ' s Star Destroyer " Scythe " . The " Concord " later took part during the capture of Kuat Drive Yards . During the Battle of Jakku , the " Concord " and her sisters ships " Amity " and " Unity " served as the fulcrum of the New Republic Starfleet ' s attack on the massed Imperial ships above Jakku . The " Amity " was destroyed when the Star Destroyer " Punishment " rammed into the Starhawk . However , this created a gap in the Imperial formation which allowed Commodore Agate to position her Starhawk and attack the Super Star Destroyer " Ravager " . Despite being crippled by the " Ravager " , Agate managed to use the " Concord " powerful tractor beam to drag the Imperial command ship down into Jakku ' s surface . Though Agate and her ship were destroyed , her actions helped turn the tide of the battle in the New Republic ' s favor . As the Resistance U - 55 orbital loadlifter s were being destroyed by the " Supremacy " after they evacuated from the " Raddus " , General Leia Organa tried to imagine a miracle where Inferno Squad returned from their mission to find the Resistance ' s allies in the Outer Rim Territories with a task force of Starhawks . Behind the scenes . The Mark One Starhawk first appeared in Chuck Wendig ' s 2016 novel " " and its 2017 sequel " " .
