Ola Hest's frigate

A frigate was owned by the Hutt Clan enforcer Ola Hest during the High Republic Era. It had a hyperdrive and at least two thrusters. By 231 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Tempest Runner to 231 BBY. Hest piloted her frigate to the astronomical object Novor to collect protection money from a children's medcenter run by the Sisters of the Ninth Plane. After the Sisters refused to pay Hest and told her to leave, she aimed her frigate's thrusters at the medcenter, bringing it down and killing all who were inside. Hest later claimed the incident was an accident and was eventually captured by Jedi Master Porter Engle.
In 231 BBY, while imprisoned aboard the Galactic Republic prison ship Restitution, the prisoner Sestin Blin told the Nihil Tempest Runner Lourna Dee about Hest using her frigate to topple the children's medcenter. Blin also told Dee that she did not believe it was an accident and that the enforcer had known what she was doing and wanted people to know what she was doing.
