[edit] History

During the Yuuzhan Vong War it was Admiral Traest Kre'fey's personal flagship. The vessel carried Rogue Squadron during the initial weeks of the Yuuzhan Vong War, where they scoured the Outer Rim hunting for the Yuuzhan Vong. Its communications officer was Lieutenant Arr'yka and its shield officer was Commander Grai'tvo.

The Ralroost first engaged substantial Yuuzhan Vong forces in the Battle of Ithor, where the planet was destroyed in spite of the fleet's best efforts. The ship also participated in the Battle of Coruscant, as the flagship of Fleet Group One. After the fleets scattered, the Ralroost went to Kashyyyk, where it and the ships that accompanied it staged raids from Duro to Ylesia to weaken the Yuuzhan Vong and train New Republic forces.

After three months of conducting such raids, the Ralroost headed to Treskov 115-W, a main-sequence star in the Deep Core, to prepare for an ambush of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. For several weeks they trained and built up their defenses in the system, until they were attacked by an enormous Yuuzhan Vong force. The ambush was successful, destroying nearly a third of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet deployed, and the Ralroost went back to Kashyyyk.

The ship was next seen participating in the Battle of Mon Calamari, defending the world and its shipyards against another Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Shortly thereafter the vessel participated in the recapture of Coruscant.

The status of the Ralroost after the resignation of Admiral Kre'fey is unknown.
