The Darkflare represented the pinnacle of technology as an S-46I Medium Scout Ship. Sienar Fleet Systems produced this vessel for the use of the Galactic Empire. In the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance's Intelligence operatives initiated Operation Night Fire, with their objective being the capture of the Darkflare. At the time, the ship was still in the process of being built at a Seinar Fleet Systems orbital shipyard. Imperial Security Bureau Commander Trey Trellen held the position of commanding officer on board.
