The Reliance I, a Republic command ship, functioned as a vessel of the Galactic Republic circa 4000 BBY. During the initial phases of the Great Sith War, it acted as the flagship for Ulic Qel-Droma.
The Reliance I included turbolasers and shield generators along with a unique bridge atmospheric containment field. A shipboard infirmary, outfitted with bacta tanks and medical droids, was also a part of the vessel's equipment.
While under the command of Fleet Captain Orley Vanicus, the ship sustained damage from a wave of attacking Chaos fighters at Koros Major during the Battle of Koros Major. This occurred when numerous small attack starfighters, specifically CX-133 Chaos fighter of the Krath, conducted kamikaze runs against the Republic fleet. One such fighter collided with the bridge viewports of the Reliance I.
Despite the rapid sealing of the breach using an atmospheric force-field and the quick cooling of the burning debris, the command crew suffered several losses. Ulic Qel-Droma sustained injuries from the impact's flying shrapnel and subsequently spent a period recovering in the ship's infirmary with a fever.
