The Dauntless, a Valor-class cruiser, functioned as a component of the Republic fleet throughout the Galactic War. During the Battle of Rishi in 3637 BBY, it acted as the flagship for Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan. The battle's trajectory shifted from an initial confrontation with the Imperial fleet when Theron Shan and his comrades exposed the presence of saboteurs from the Order of Revan aboard Dauntless and other vessels in both armadas. Subsequently, Shan forged a short-lived alliance with Darth Marr and piloted Dauntless, along with her remaining ships, to Yavin 4, an action that was later contested by Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh.
