Phoenix Nest

Phoenix Nest, also known as Phoenix Home or the Liberator, was an Imperial escort carrier in service prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War. The ship was originally used by the Galactic Empire as a mobile base of operations to periodically launch bombers on the planet Ryloth. Three years before the Battle of Yavin the Spectres, alongside Cham Syndulla of the Free Ryloth movement, stole the ship for the rebellion.
The carrier, now a part of the growing rebel fleet, was used to house the R-22 Spearhead fighters of Phoenix Cell, and was repainted by the rebel Sabine Wren to show its new affiliation. The carrier and the rest of the Phoenix rebel fleet were later attacked by Imperial forces under Admiral Kassius Konstantine. The carrier later hosted the Spectres' starship, the Ghost, which had returned with stolen fuel supplies from Horizon Base. After Commander Jun Sato and Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla received information from the inventory droid AP-5 that the Imperials had set a trap in the Yost system, the starship fled with the rest of the rebel fleet to the planet Atollon.
Six months later, Commander Sato mobilized the fleet to assist Ezra Bridger's team in a scouting mission at Reklam Station. The team managed to land their newly-captured BTL-A4 Y-wing starfighters aboard the carrier. Once everyone was accounted for, the fleet returned to Chopper Base. The carrier was later destroyed during the Battle of Atollon, where Commander Sato crashed it into an interdictor cruiser in order to provide an opening for Ezra Bridger to escape the system.
