Description[]
The Dawn of Tranquility was an MC85 star cruiser and a capital ship utilized by the New Repulic. During the uprising of the First Order, Admiral Ackbar petitioned the name of the ship be changed to the Raddus in honor of the Mon Calamari military leader Admiral Raddus, who gave his life during the Galactic Civil War. The Dawn of Tranquility operated as the flagship of the Resistance under the leadership of General Leia Organa. During a space battle against the First Order, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo ordered all personnel off-ship, then used it as decoy to draw attention away from the Resistance. She set the Raddus on a suicide hyperspace jump, plowing it through the Dreadnought star destroyer Supremacy, destroying both ships in the process, and saving the Resistance.
Notes & Trivia[]
- Raddus, from whom the ship was re-named, was a character who appeared in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. He was played by actor Paul Kasey and voiced by Stephen Stanton.
