The Vindicator is a modified Nebulon-B Frigate. Primarily used as a scout ship by the Rebellion. Most Turbolasers have been removed from the hull to allow for more armour. Two years ago, the ship was originally under the command of Captain Telik Jaron of the Imperial Navy when ordered to escort a cargo freighter heading for Coruscant from Kuat. Along the way, the Rebel Alliance ambushed the ships and the cargo freighter was lost. Fearing imminent death from his superiors, he convinced a majority of his crew, who were sympathetic to the Alliance's cause, to defect and give the ship to the Rebels. The ship has been with the Alliance ever since.
The Vindicator is under the command of General Telik Jaron, who joined the Imperial Navy at a young age. But he felt sympathy towards the non-human slaves the Empire worked on subjugated worlds. General Jaron eventually defected to the Alliance after failing to escort a cargo freighter for fear of being punished with death by his superiors. He was originally named a strategic advisor, however due to the downturn of the war, was named General and stationed at Liberty Station, the Vindicator's home base.
