Adapted as a fleet carrier,[5] the vessel was 752 meters in length, 460 meters in width and 183 meters in width,[2] and was equipped with at least two engine units and a ventral hangar bay.[1] In 22 BBY,[6] the Nevoota Bee participated[5] in a financially destructive[6] engagement[5] at the planet[6] Muunilinst, where it transported a complement of 156 V-19 Torrent starfighters[5] against the Confederacy's forces.[6]
