Vessel 171, a drone freighter, served the Galactic Empire throughout the Galactic Civil War as a drone freighter.

During 3 ABY, vessel 171 was integrated into an Imperial drone freighters convoy, moving hyperdrive components towards the Kuat Drive Yards. Rebel spies discovered the convoy's existence, prompting the Alliance to launch a bold mission aimed at acquiring the hyperdrive components, which resulted in the capture of the vessel.
