Redemption

The Redemption was a Rebel Medical Frigate assigned to the main bulk of the Rebel Fleet. One of the most famous of the Medical Frigates, the Redemption was known for being the home of some of the Alliance's best medics, as well as highly advanced medical droids. The Redemption was the ship that Luke Skywalker was sent to in order to install his robot hand after his real hand was severed by Darth Vader.

The Redemption participated in the Battle of Endor and was brought under attack by Imperial TIE Interceptors. Lando Calrissian was able to drive the attackers away in the Millenium Falcon, but this did not stop the Redemption from being destroyed by the fully-functional Death Star, before it could get to a minimum safe distance.

The ship was blasted in half by the explosion but the entire crew died. Massive damage to the rear end of the ship was inflicted and only the front half had surviving sections, which were salvaged along with what few surviving medical droids still clung to life in the ship. The Redemption was noted as being one of the most tragic losses of the Battle as it was one of the most important ships in the fleet.
