The EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate is an armored warship that was designed specifically for heavy space combat and attacking enemy capital ships head-on. Originally sold to the Empire in large numbers to protect convoys against Rebel attacks, the Rebels soon began to acquire a number of these ships through defection, capturing them in battle, or by outright theft.
Although not powerful enough to combat an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Nebulon B serves a vital military role in the Rebel Alliance by combating enemy starfighters and taking out opposing escort ships, such as the Imperial Carrack Cruiser. Its many weapons make it a formidable space superiority frigate.
