Raddus (MC85 Star Cruiser)

The Raddus formerly named the Dawn of Tranquility is a MC85 Star Cruiser that served the Resistance as General Leia Organa's flagship during the First Order-Resistance War. It was one of the last ship that were built for the New Republic before the Military Disarmament Act was signed. It was later decommissioned by the New Republic and fell into the hands of the Resistance where it would be refitted. It participated in the Evacuation of D'Qar. It along with the Ninka, the Anodyne and the Vigil, escaped to the Crait System. It was destroyed when it jumped to hyperspace into the Supremacy slicing it in two. It was renamed in honour of the rebellion Admiral, Raddus.

Early Days
The Raddus, then under the name Dawn of Tranquility served the New Republic Starfleet, it was later retired and fell into the service of the Resistance, where it was stripped of any systems and computerization that was unnecessary. It was therefore considered the most valuable resource in the Resistance and was renamed the Raddus in honor of fallen rebel admiral Raddus, by the suggestion of fellow Mon Calamari, Admiral Gail Ackbar.

Service under the Resistance
The Raddus served as the main Capital Ship for the Resistance Navy, The Raddus, along with the Ninka, the Anodyne and the Vigil participated in the Evacuation of D'Qar, it was able to escape to the Crait System along with the rest of the ships. It was tracked and attacked by the Supremacy and the First Order Navy. It was then caught in a long chase with where it would eventually evacuate the surviving members onto the transports. The transports then headed for the planet Crait. The transports were then found out by the General Hux he proceeded to begin destroying the lifeboats.

Destruction
After the transports were found out and were being destroyed, Vice Admiral Holdo proceeded to turn the cruiser around to face the Supremacy and to jump into hyperspace into the massive dreadnought, the collision split the Supremacy and destroyed the sorrounding star destroyers, as the rest of the Resistance watched from the transports, this act of sacrifice allowed the Resistance to reach Crait and get a signal to their allies in the Outer Rim. The First Order arrives on Crait and the resulting Battle of Crait occured.
