The Dauntless-class heavy cruiser represented the second-largest cruiser design deployed by the Rebel Alliance fleet throughout the Galactic Civil War.

This class of warship boasted an impressive selection of weaponry, substantial plating for defense, and robust shields. Furthermore, it was equipped with a superior sensor suite and an array of defensive countermeasures.
Initially constructed as a lavish vessel, this cruiser underwent transformation into a combat ship amidst the Galactic Civil War. Throughout the Galactic Civil War, and even extending into the Yuuzhan Vong War, the _Dauntless-_class actively participated in numerous frontline space engagements.
A Dauntless-class cruiser named the Endor served within the ranks of the New Republic before its destruction in 13 ABY.
