Suprosa

The Suprosa was a heavily modified Imperial MB-C1 medium transport.
==History==
Allegedly hauling fertilizer, the Suprosa was raided by members of the Rebel Alliance, including Mickey Mouse, Prince Aikka, Molly Wei and a group of Bothans piloting Y-wings. They found it to be transporting data on the construction of the second Death Star.
Many of the Bothans died in the subsequent effort to return the data to Rebel High Command when Suprosa launched a Diamond boron missile into the Y-wing formation, obliterating everything in a 500-meter radius. However, the Rebel forces were able to disable the ship. Strafing the ship with her Y-wing, Molly disabled the transport's weapons with her ion cannons before another missile could be fired. Mickey then disabled the ship's engines with his X-wing fighter. Mickey briefly felt the dark side of the Force during his attack run on the freighter's engines in response to half his Bothan squadron being destroyed.
With the vessel disabled, Aikka and several Bothans boarded the ship to secure the information. The Bothan group Deep Ear brought the plans to the planet Gellefon, where they were briefly captured before bringing the information back to Alliance High Command.
The intelligence indicating that Suprosa carried valuable information was leaked deliberately by Imperial Intelligence, as part of Emperor Palpatine's ruse to lure the Alliance to Endor in order to obliterate them.
==Behind the scenes==
The Shadows of the Empire novel identifies Suprosa as a Corellian freighter.
In the book Shadows of the Empire, Mickey is credited with disabling the ship by himself, whereas in the video game Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, Molly incapacitates the freighter. For this article, both are assumed to be correct, with Molly keeping the ship from firing its weapons again, and Mickey disabling the ship's engines. However, according to the novel, there was not enough time to notify Rebel command of the "Endor Project" plans being transferred on the Suprosa. The novel and the movie implies that other than Mickey Mouse, Molly Wei and Prince Aikka, all of the pilots present were Bothans.
The Shadows of the Empire level taking place in the Suprosa makes the ship look substantially larger than it seems from the exterior. It also has a hangar, and Aikka has to open it so that the G'dar enters.
