A Carrack-class light cruiser was in the possession of the Galactic Empire in the days of the Imperial Era. An accident of a mechanical nature caused the ship to be left behind in the Kryton system sometime in the period between 5 BBY and 4 BBY. The Spectres journeyed to the Carrack-class light cruiser to mark it with a Rebel Alliance starbird, their goal being to deceive the Empire into believing they were responsible.
