Concord

The Concord was a Starhawk-class Battleship Mark I that served in the New Republic Defense Fleet during the Galactic Civil War in 5 ABY. It was commanded by Commodore Kyrsta Agate. The ship saw service in a skirmish in Wild Space, the Battle for Kuat Drive Yards, and was incredibly important to New Republic's efforts in the Battle of Jakku.
==Description==
The Concord was the first Starhawk-class Battleship Mark I that was built by Nadiri Dockyards following the Battle of Endor. The ship had a hatchet-shaped front and was built from recycled Imperial warships. The Concord was classed as a battleship and was equipped with a powerful tractor beam that relied on magnite crystals as a power source. The magnite crystals amplified the tractor's beam strength and allowed her to drag and carry vessels ten times the Concord size.
==History==
Following the Battle of Endor, the Alliance to Restore the Republic transitioned into the New Republic. The Republic's Galactic Senate commissioned the building of new warships using disassembled Imperial warships during the last stages of the Galactic Civil War. The Concord was the first Starhawk built by Nadiri Dockyards and was captained by Commodore Kyrsta Agate, who had been promoted for her role during the rebellion on Akiva. The Concord had white spacious interiors and bright docking bays.
The Concord and the Alderaanian escort frigate Sunspire destroyed Commander Valent's Star Destroyer Scythe during a skirmish near Wild Space in 5 ABY.Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Aftermath: Life Debt to 5 ABY. Commodore Agate then brought the New Republic pilot Norra Wexley and Captain Wedge Antilles aboard the Concord to reprimand them for embarking on an unauthorized mission to find Han Solo. Later, the Concord took part in the New Republic's capture of the planet Kuat and Kuat Drive Yards.
During the climactic Battle of Jakku, Concord served alongside her sister ships Amity and Unity against the Empire above Jakku. During the battle, after a long New Republic effort, the Imperial starship defensive perimeter around the Ravager was broken, giving Commodore Agate an opening. In a decisive move, and after a discussion with Admiral Ackbar,Battle of Jakku — Last Stand 4 Agate evacuated as many of Concord personnel as possible, and used the battleship to attack Counselor Gallius Rax's flagship Ravager. While the Concord was stricken during an all-out assault on the Super Star Destroyer, her captain Agate managed to use the ship's powerful tractor beam projectors to drag the Ravager down to Jakku's surface with it, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the New Republic.
