The Rand Ecliptic was a starship in the service of the Galactic Empire shortly before the Battle of Yavin. After attending an Imperial Academy, the pilots Biggs Darklighter[1] and Derek Klivian both received their commissions aboard the vessel.[2] Klivian, who was secretly undercover as an agent of the Alliance to Restore the Republic,[3] incited a mutiny, assisting Darklighter, who had been serving as first mate, to defect to the Rebel Alliance.[1]
