The carrier was placed under the command of Jun Sato, effectively replacing his previous command ship and christening it the Phoenix Nest.Īfter the successful aquisition of the Phoenix Nest it and the Ghost then went to Yarma. It was then named Phoenix Home and became the new Capital Ship of Phoenix Squadron.

With the help of resistance leader Cham Syndulla, the Ghost Crew launched an attack on the carrier. The Imperial Light Carrier that would become known as Phoenix Nest was positioned over Ryloth to bomb the Twi'lek resistance on the planet.
There it was used by the Galactic Empire to house the TIE bombers that bombarded Ryloth's surface. This light carrier was stationed at Ryloth.
