The Lance on patrol with the Defiance Task Force During the Galactic Civil War, the Lance served as a CR90 corvette for the Rebel Alliance. This vessel was a component of the Defiance Task Force during the Battle of Hoth. Following a short operation, the Lance and the remainder of the task force fled the Anoat sector. The ship transported thermal units, which were probably either headed to Echo Base or being removed from that location.
The activities of the Lance after the Defiance Task Force was reformed remain a mystery. Furthermore, it is not known if this ship took part in the Battle of Endor.
