Legend

this reconnaissance craft was built by Kuat Drive Yards for the New Republic Navy. It first saw duty at the Battle of Tynna. Known as the LSR, the ship was built for speed and stealth. The surface of this craft bristled with a multitude of low-profile sensor suites, rectennae, scanners, and communications arrays. In order to maintain the ship's power needs, a capital-scale power generator was installed as the main power plant. The New Republic believed that the ship was virtually invisible to the enemy, but Nas Choka's forces were able to detect it and track its actions. The Supreme Commander chose to leave the ship alone, letting the New Republic believe that the ship was undetected and giving them a false sense of security.
