Elite designates an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate of the Imperial navy. This vessel was stationed in the Droma sector when it took possession of the contaminated grain dispatched by Overlord Ghorin.
The contaminated grain was meant to be given to the Rebel Alliance by Ghorin. However, the Alliance discovered this plot, formulated a counter-strategy, and managed to send the grain back to the Empire without Ghorin's awareness.
As a result of his actions, Ghorin faced execution for treason.
