Falcon was a CR90 corvette serving with the Imperial Navy during the era of the Galactic Civil War. This particular corvette, the Falcon, played a role in the building of the Death Star.
The Rebel Alliance discovered the existence of an Imperial repair station (which was actually a modified BFF-1 bulk freighter) located close to Coruscant thanks to information from the Mon Calamari pirate known as Tuz. They came to the conclusion that taking it out would severely damage the infrastructure supporting the starships used in the Death Star's construction. Consequently, two Y-wings from Red Squadron were assigned the task of eliminating the repair station.
As the Rebel attack commenced, the Falcon was in the vicinity of the repair station and tried to help defend it. Keyan Farlander used proton torpedoes to destroy the corvette, along with the defending TIE starfighter forces and a protective minefield. The arrival of the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate named Vulture happened too late to prevent the destruction of the facility by Farlander's wing leader, which delayed the completion of the Death Star.
