Defiance

==History==
During the Alliance investigation on the Death Star I, and while orbiting Bestine IV, the Defiance was approached by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Immortal which launched squadrons of TIE/sa bombers to destroy it. Most of the Defiance's pilots were away flying other missions but the ship was able to scramble three X-wings and two R-22 Spearheads in its defense. The Rebel pilots, including Keyan Farlander and Breth Gart, on temporary assignment from the Independence, were able to defend it until the ship was safely in hyperspace.
During the evacuation of Yavin 4, the Alliance High Command requested her presence in order to protect the Rebel ships about to hyperspace away from the Imperial blockade. 
The vessel performed numerous missions, both individually and as part of a battle line. The Defiance was commanded by Admiral Nammo throughout the Galactic Civil War. Her Tactical Officer was Commander Devers, who assumed his position following the capture and brainwashing of his predecessor, Commander Kupalo.
Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, the Defiance was trapped in the Anoat Sector with her task group, hunted by Imperial Admiral Garreth Holtz and his Corrupter task force. Defiance was eventually able to escape deep into the Outer Rim Territories, where she and her task force were able to recover from their campaign, this was accomplished thanks in part to pilot Ace Azzameen.
