History[]
In 22 BBY, the Intergalactic Banking Clan sent two Munificent-class star frigates to blockade a Galactic Republic convoy en route to the moon of Rugosa. They attacked a Consular-class cruiser carrying Jedi master Yoda, forcing the ship to retreat from the area. As the cruiser exchanged fire with the two ships, Master Yoda and three clone troopers got inside of a lifepod. Yoda ordered all of the lifepods to launch simultaneously to mask their escape, even though many of them were empty. [1]
