The Tyrant functioned as a Ton-Falk-class escort carrier within the ranks of the Imperial Navy.
Following a previous unsuccessful endeavor by the Empire, it made an attempt to seize the Compellor. Even though it possessed a significant number of TIE interceptors and a few Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transports, the Rebel fighters tasked with guarding the vessel were successful in obliterating its defensive systems, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Tyrant.
