Knights was a vessel in the service of the Rebel Alliance, specifically a MC80 Star Cruiser type.
The cruiser, together with a Bothan Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser named Doomer, was engaged in an attempt to hold a clandestine rendezvous. Unfortunately, the Imperials dispatched a combat group including Missile Boats, TIE Avengers, Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transports, and a starfighter flown by Tan Maarek Stele, with the objective of seizing the Rebel Cruiser and eliminating the Bothan Dreadnaught.
Stele navigated through a minefield, eliminated all opposing starfighters, annihilated the Dreadnaught, and weakened the cruiser's shields; consequently, the ship was successfully brought to a halt and taken, along with the Nebulon-B2 frigate Tarken.
