Unnamed

The Unnamed was a starship used by the Rebel Alliance's intelligence branch during the Galactic Civil War. In 3 ABY, Captain Magna Tolvan commanded the Unnamed, and her unit Strike Team Misericorde served aboard the vessel. After receiving intelligence on the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra, the Unnamed captured an Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, bringing it into its hangar where Tolvan's strike team stunned all of the shuttle's passengers except for Aphra, who escaped the ion grenade they used.
While the strike team searched for Aphra, the rogue archaeologist used the Lambda's laser cannons to provide cover fire as she escaped into the Unnamed hallways. She then incapacitated the RA-7 protocol droid TZ-2 in the operations room and used the droid as a ruse to trap Tolvan's troops there. Tolvan evaded the trap and pursued Aphra. The doctor, meanwhile, had her assassin droid BT-1, who was among the captured shuttle passengers, escape rebel captivity with her father, Korin Aphra. She then scuffled with Tolvan, and the pair eventually fell into a trash pit. Exchanging comments on their feelings for each other, the pair kissed and slept together.
Aphra parted with a sleeping Tolvan and reunited with BT-1 and Korin, who were still stunned. She programmed the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle to take her father to Ash Moon 1, a moon from the Kartovian Formation, and jettisoned all of the Unnamed escape pods, one with her and BT-1 inside. Tolvan, meanwhile, made her way to the starship's bridge to assess the situation with the bridge crew. The Lambda broke out of the hangar and escaped, with the Unnamed following the shuttle, using a tracker placed on the Imperial vessel by strike team member Sergeant Sister Six.
==Description==
The Unnamed was a starship with at least seven engine units that protruded from the stern of the vessel. It was also equipped with hyperdrive systems, a tractor beam, and at least seven escape pods. The vessel had at least two double laser cannons, one placed on the front of the ship and one positioned on the underside. The Unnamed possessed a bridge with viewports, terminals, and a circular holotable in the center. The starship also had a ventral hangar that could hold ships like shuttles and starfighters. Other interior areas included an operations room with a number of screens and a terminal, a brig to hold prisoners, and a trash pit where scrapped equipment was left in a pool of glowing green fluid.
==History==
===Seizing a shuttle===
During the Galactic Civil War, the Unnamed was part of the Rebel Alliance's navy and was used by the faction's intelligence branch. In 3 ABY, the starship was under the command of Captain Magna Tolvan, who led the intelligence unit Strike Team Misericorde. The rebels received intelligence regarding the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra, whom Tolvan had crossed paths with before, which led the Unnamed to intercept an Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle near Asteroid Helix 13-v. The starship locked onto the Imperial shuttle with a tractor beam and pulled the Lambda into its hangar. Strike Team Misericorde then breached the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle and used an ion grenade to incapacitate any passengers inside.
Identifying Aphra's father, Korin Aphra, among the stunned passengers, the rebels removed them from the shuttle but did not find Aphra among the unconscious bodies. Tolvan was sure that Aphra was present, much to the disagreement of strike team member Sergeant Sister Six, and her suspicions were confirmed when the rogue archaeologist, who had evaded being stunned, hijacked the Lambda's cannon systems and used one of them to fire near the rebels as a distraction while she fled the shuttle and down a hallway. Alerting the rest of the Unnamed crew of Aphra's escape, Tolvan had the rest of the shuttle's passengers taken to the brig.
Meanwhile, in the operations room, the RA-7 protocol droid TZ-2 had reviewed footage of Aphra and the Imperials at Asteroid Helix 13-v, where the rebels had left hidden cameras. The protocol droid concluded that the Empire had been looking for information on the location of the Alliance's secret headquarters and reported the findings to Tolvan. That was when Aphra reached the room and incapacitated TZ-2, which immediately caught the captain's attention. As Tolvan and Strike Team Misericorde rushed to the operations room, Aphra clothed the protocol droid with her jacket, hat, and gloves and remotely controlled the droid to resemble her. The captain and her forces reached the room and fell for Aphra's ruse, closing in on her decoy in the operations room.
===Aphra's escape===
With the rebels inside the operations room, Aphra proceeded to close the entrance, and Tolvan rushed through the doorway before it sealed. Having sliced the Unnamed security systems, the doctor also sealed the bridge from the outside. While fleeing Tolvan, Aphra contacted her assassin droid, BT-1, who was held in the brig with the rest of the shuttle passengers, and encouraged the droid to escape and take Korin back to the shuttle. Meanwhile, Tolvan continued to pursue the rogue archaeologist through a maintenance section, the pair scuffling and exchanging comments about their past endeavors together along the way. Aphra then pushed the captain into a trash pit but also fell in. While in the pit, the pair spoke more about their feelings for each other, which resulted in them kissing and sleeping together.
Aphra soon parted with Tolvan while the latter was asleep and reunited with BT-1 after the droid reached the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle with Korin, having killed the rebel guards and other Imperials at the brig. She programmed the shuttle to take her father to Ash Moon 1, in the Kartovian FormationDoctor Aphra (2016) 37 and then launched all of the Unnamed escape pods, one of which she and BT-1 climbed into. Meanwhile, Tolvan had awoken and was making her way to the bridge. When she made it inside, she assessed the rebels' situation aboard the starship with the bridge crew and concluded that the escape pods were a firing screen. At this moment, the Imperial shuttle blasted its way out of the Unnamed and escaped with Korin.
Unable to fire on the Lambda, the bridge crew detected a single life sign on the fleeing shuttle. Concluding that it was Aphra, Tolvan verified with Sister Six, who had escaped the operations room, that a tracker had been placed on the shuttle. After Six confirmed so, the captain had the Unnamed follow the Imperial vessel, unaware that Aphra was actually in one of the jettisoned escape pods. The captain ultimately followed the shuttle to Ash Moon 1, where she found Korin and Vulaada Klam,Doctor Aphra (2016) 40 a companion of Aphra's who had been abandoned on the moon not long before.
==Commanders and crew==
The Unnamed was commanded by Captain Magna Tolvan in 3 ABY, with her unit, Strike Team Misericorde, serving aboard the vessel. The bridge was manned by at least three crewmembers and an astromech droid and the brig was guarded by a pair of rebel soldiers.
