Rand Ecliptic

The Rand Ecliptic was a Victory-class frigate of the Imperial Navy, commanded by Captain Heliesk. Twilight Squadron was stationed aboard the ship.
== History ==
The Rand Ecliptic was constructed, commissioned, and launched at least a decade prior to the Battle of Yavin. The ship would serve as a posting for recent academy graduates for most of its career.
Upon the graduation of pilots Biggs Darklighter, Derek Klivian, and their classmates from the Imperial Academy, they were assigned to the Rand Ecliptic as part of its complement of TIE/LN starfighter squadrons. Both Darklighter and Klivian were involved with different Rebel cells on the ship, though neither cell knew of the existence of the other, causing them to operate at cross-purposes until Heliesk revealed himself as the Rebel Alliance operative "Starfire", who had been responsible for giving orders to both cells, and unified them under his direct command before officially declaring his allegiance to the rebellion and leading his ship and crew to defect. Following this, any Imperial loyalists were marooned on an uninhabited planet with enough supplies to last a standard year.
