The Nebulon-B Escort Frigate are used to protect our convoys. The powerful weapons and shields on this ship, makes this vessel a formidable escort ship that makes the enemy think twice about attacking our convoys. These ships have several docking fixtures for light and medium freighters. Also the Nebulon-B has sophisticated sensors and deep-space, multifrequency antennas, allowing them to function as long-range scouts or relay battle information

to a command ship. These ships were commissioned do to the Rebel Alliance's significant success in attacking Imperial convoys which happened early in the Rebellion. Since the Imperial Navy began assigning these vessels to escort duty, the rebels found it deadly attacking Imperial convoys. The rebels have now resorted to lightning fast hit and run tactics against our cargo or transport ships, even then they are taking great casualties because of the prolonged dogfights with the frigate's two TIE Starfighter squadrons which are supported by the frigate's weapons.
