The Nebulon-B2 frigate called Ludwick, which was part of a task force headed by Vice Admiral Thrawn, was captained by Commander Buckeye. During the events of the Battle on the Frontier, the Ludwick engaged and obliterated a pirate base of operations that belonged to the Pakuuni Pirates, with the purpose of constructing a novel space facility known as NL-1. Moreover, while the Stalwart was in the process of coordinating supplementary starships and crew, the frigate maintained a watchful presence over station NL-1.
