The long troublesome slave circuitry that caused the loss of the fleet and its 440,000 crew members has been removed and replaced with modern droid dominant systems similar to those found in cruisers today. Other notable ships in the fleet include the Braxant Brave, Harrier, and Peregrine, which were the first to be retrofitted successfully and will begin service as battle group flagships within the Rift Alliance. The Katana fleet, named originally after its flagship, the Katana, was launched by the Galactic Republic several years before the Clone Wars as part of a project to rebuild the Republic Navy. Roughly ten to thirty Dreadnaughts are designated for command under each Rift Alliance organisation, providing a sizeable boost in fleet support capabilities alongside the Rift Alliance’s Mon Calamari Cruisers. The fleet's flagship “ Katana, ” now under the command of the Krath Dynasty, took her second test flight in the Outer Rim at the beginning of Galactic Year 17.
This historic project to repair and retrofit a fleet of this size took place largely in secret for months utilizing the powerhouse of shipyards within the Rift Alliance, including those of the Krath Dynasty, Kingdom of Elysia, Corporate Alliance, The Pentastar Alignment, Galentro Heavy Works, Death Watch, Empire of the Hand, Eriadu Authority, Chiss Ascendancy, and the Matukai Dragons. “The first one hundred Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers of the two hundred strong Katana Fleet are officially undergoing space trials and are set to begin entering active service throughout RA controlled space,” Echuu announced, declaring the discovery and retrofitting of the lost fleet a substantial achievement in the war against the Empire. Katana was also the name of a Japanese server-or "Galaxy"-in Star Wars Galaxies.Director Echuu Shen-Jon of the Corporate Alliance Policy Administration Directorate (CAPAD), the security arm of the Corporate Alliance, announced today in a press conference the details regarding a recent joint Rift Alliance project. It was where they first discovered Thrawn's cloned troops.
During the Battle for the Katana fleet, a team led by Luke Skywalker was able to use the Katana to destroy the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Peremptory, by Han Solo using its slave circuit controls to ram one of the other Dreadnaughts into the Star Destroyer. That fleet was called the Katana Fleet or, in the Rebellion era, the Dark Force.Īlthough the fleet was rediscovered fifty years later, and the majority captured by the Empire, the Katana herself was one of the 15 ships recovered by the New Republic. Around 45 BBY, it was lost with the rest of the fleet due to the outbreak of a hive virus that caused the crew of the Katana to go mad and jump to random hyperspace coordinates, along with the other 199 slaved ships.
