The Rude Awakening represented an assault pinnace infiltrator, a specialized vessel crafted for the Void Jumper units within the Marines of the GA.
This particular infiltrator came equipped with automatic laser cannons for offensive capabilities, at least one shield generator for protection, and a medbay featuring an Emdee droid to provide medical assistance.
Back in 44 ABY, the frigate known as Redstar was responsible for deploying the Rude Awakening near the entrance of The Maw. Subsequently, Jedi Master Jaina Solo took control of the ship, carrying Grand Master Luke Skywalker, with the objective of reaching Abeloth's planet to both rescue Ben Skywalker and ultimately defeat Abeloth. Upon sensing the presence of the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship guarding the route to the planet, Luke retreated to a bunk within the ship's medbay, where he separated his consciousness from his physical form to venture into the realm of beyond shadows. As the distance between the two ships diminished, a conflict erupted between them. While both ships sustained considerable damage, Master Solo secured an advantage by launching multiple baradium missiles, causing Ship to retreat from the battle. Following this, the infiltrator successfully landed on the planet, where Jaina discovered that Ben and Vestara Khai had already triumphed over Abeloth's avatar. After Vestara fled aboard a damaged Ship, realizing that the Jedi had uncovered her treachery, Jaina transported the injured Ben and the unconscious Luke to safety.
