The Reliance, a warship of the Galactic Republic, functioned as the flagship under the command of Admiral Jimas Veltraa throughout the Mandalorian Wars. In 3964 BBY, as a Mandalorian offensive placed the planet Taris in peril, Veltraa reconstructed the remnants of the devastated Jebble-Vanquo-Tarnith line into an improvised defense against the Mandalorian siege of Taris. Despite Veltraa and the Reliance fighting until their final moments, the vessel was ultimately obliterated, resulting in the loss of every crew member.
The initial reference to the Reliance appeared in The Admiral's List: Jimas Veltraa Memorial Edition, a fictional news article included at the conclusion of Knights of the Old Republic 13. This comic was penned by John Jackson Miller and made available in 2007.
