The Yekkabird, a Pacifier-class sector patrol cruiser within the fleet of the Galactic Republic, was the property of the Core Worlds planet Corellia, a participating member of the Republic Defense Coalition. As part of a group of five Pacifier-class cruisers sent by Republic Defense Coalition member worlds, the Yekkabird served under the leadership of Admiral Pevel Kronara in the Battle of Kur against the Nihil. During that battle, the Yekkabird, along with the Alderaanian cruiser Marillion, met its end; one was torn asunder by a Nihil harpoon tactic, and the other was destroyed via bombs planted in escape pods originating from what seemed to be a drifting Nihil corvette.
