Kala'din, a heavy cruiser of the Dreadnaught-class, was under the command of Airam clan's leader, Ilay, during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Ilay utilized the Kala'din during the Galactic Civil War. Following her failed raid on the Kuras Drift, she employed the cruiser, along with T-wings from Cobalt and Crimson Squadron and Y-wings of Tiger Squadron, to meet with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer named Rage for negotiations.
However, Tamaron, a rival clan leader who supported the Alliance, discovered Ilay's meeting. Consequently, Alliance High Command dispatched X-wings from Rogue Squadron and B-wings from Green Squadron to disable her vessel. Despite the presence of her fighter escorts and Rage's own fighters, her ship was rendered inoperable. The corvette Storm then arrived to board the Kala'din and capture Ilay. While TIE Advanced fighters from Avenger Squadron attempted to reinforce the Imperials, both Rebel squadrons successfully fended them off long enough for the Storm to complete its mission and escape into Hyperspace. It is believed the ship was destroyed afterward.
