The New Elite, a corvette that had been altered, functioned as the flagship for the Tempest led by Kassav Milliko. Milliko was a Tempest Runner within the Nihil marauder group. Following an attempt by Milliko and his Tempest to leverage an Emergences event from the Great Hyperspace Disaster to coerce Governor Mural Veen of Eriadu, the Galactic Republic discovered the ship and the Nihil's participation in the catastrophe. During the Battle of Kur, the New Elite sustained significant damage, leading to its seizure by an Eriaduan team under Governor Veen, who then killed Milliko.
