Provocateur, captained by Joshi and under the control of Warlord Zsinj, was an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate that served in his fleet. In the year 7 ABY, this vessel became part of a task force that the New Republic cleverly ensnared in a trap within the Morobe system. During the ensuing conflict, X-wings belonging to Wraith Squadron launched a relentless assault of proton torpedoes against the frigate's central area, resulting in the ship being violently split into two pieces. The rapid escape of atmosphere, combined with subsequent internal detonations, resulted in the death of all surviving crew members before any assistance could be provided by New Republic rescue teams.
