Tupolev was a Nebulon-B2 frigate that was part of Task Force Vengeance during the Galactic Civil War. It was part of the first wave of Imperial ships that were passing through the Almaran system. Alliance Command had launched multiple A-wings piloted by Rogue Squadron to inspect the ships and to destroy any freighters carrying Warheads to buy time. The frigate soon launched TIE Fighters to intercept the A-wings but the fighters were outwitted and most, if not all of them were lost in the skirmish.
