An Imperial escort carrier functioned as a starship within the arsenal of the Galactic Empire starting around 14 BBY. During that specific year, the Imperial escort carrier known as the Goliath participated in the search operation for Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's corvette, the Carrion Spike, which had been stolen. Furthermore, the Goliath engaged in a skirmish above the planet Phindar with the rebel cell led by Berch Teller.
