The Promise represented a frigate within the Fleet of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. In the time soon following the Battle of Yavin, this particular frigate was concealed within the Sujimis sector, situated close to the planet of Orto Plutonia. Aboard this very frigate, Luke Skywalker encountered Nakari Kelen for their initial meeting, during his visit to retrieve the Desert Jewel for the sake of his mission destined for the planet Rodia.
