==History==
The Galactic Alliance first used Nargi-class pursuit frigates sometime after the Second Galactic Civil War. In 43.5 ABY, when several Jedi Knights began to develop a mysterious psychosis, the Galactic Alliance decided to encase all of the affected Jedi in carbonite. The New Jedi Order resented this and hid as many of the psychotic Jedi as possible in the New Jedi Temple on Coruscant, but to prevent Galactic Alliance Security from discovering them there, they decided to transport these Jedi offworld.
Captain Han Solo, whose task was to distract Galactic Alliance forces in orbit over Coruscant, flew in the Millennium Falcon, breaking every procedure for departing the planet. He was confronted by two Nargi-class frigates, the Fast Death and the Quick End. Solo eventually faked a proton torpedo explosion off the Millennium Falcon stern, spiraling toward the Quick End and declaring an out-of-control emergency. The Quick End maneuvered out of his way, and, finally convinced that Solo wasn't trying to pull a trick, the Nargi-class frigates broke off their pursuit. While the pursuit frigates and other orbital forces were sidetracked, Solo's wife, Leia Organa Solo, smuggled the psychotic Jedi offworld.
