| Quote: | QUARREN CORVETTE
Built by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps/Rendili StarDrive in service to the Alliance at the time of the Battle of Hoth. 165 meters long, equipped with four anti-starfighter laser turrets, multiple forward facing laser cannons, torpedo launchers, and two twin-barrel turbolasers. Between ample weaponry, a specially designed armor system, and powerful engines to run down or evade enemies, the Long Fin was already an effective combat vessel.
The Long Fin has ventral docking facilities that holds a dedicated auxiliary craft, a Quarren Gunship. A maneuverable and highly armed ship usually used for regional defense in areas lacking the manpower to operate starfighter squadrons. Powerful to take on large targets but nimble enough to engage starfighters, the Quarren gunship was a formidable vessel. This particular ship was outfitted with rapid fire ion bolt launchers which could fill an entire engagement zone with with tiny, nearly impossible to avoid, needles of ionized particles. The aftermath of such a barrage could easily disable multiple attacking starfighters simultaneously to at least allow the Long Fin to escape to hyperspace.
The Long Fin also has a sizeable interior hangar facility for its size. The hangar facility, accessed by the ventral docking docking pen, was large enough to house small starfighters but typically used as a maintenance garage for heavy equipment and planet-side expeditionary vehicles like landspeeders and airspeeders. Facilitating this role are various consoles used for vehicle calibration and diagnostic tests. The use of this space for a cargo bay was also common, making this facility highly versatile.
Much of the Long Fin's internal volume was filled with gear destined for Echo Base on Hoth. Among this gear was a T-47 airspeeder as well as a handful of anti-cannon sleds. This gear was never delivered. The Long Fin had been delayed on its last mission and was on its way to Hoth when the Empire began to blockade the planet. From there the Long Fin coordinated with Echo Base to provide an opening for fleeing starships, playing a key role in the evacuation of Echo Base, ensuring the survival of several key starships.

It's not in RotJ; it's in the Rebel Fleet scene at the end of TESB. It's barely visible in the lower left corner in this image.
Here's the YouTube video EC Henry did on it last year, and my stat write-up from the Mystery Ships in the Original Trilogy thread.
