Info: The Vespia was one of the Nebulon B Frigates that defected to the Rebel side early on during the fight against the Empire. It was soon modified by the Rebellion to serve as a medical frigate for the Rebellion's wounded. It served in this manner through the remainder of the Rebellion. It was the ship that Luke Skywalker recieved his artifical hand on and was the medical frigate at the Battle of Endor. As more and more ships were added to the New Republic's forces, the Vespia became just another medical frigate. It was transfered to the Retribution Fleet upon its formation to serve as it's medical ship. It continues to do so to this date, as part of the main Retribution Fleet. Since it does not carry any fighters it remains with the fleet's command ships and not accompaining the other ships into combat.
