- "I regret to report, Commander Zahra, that the ship's systems have sustained significant damage due to the Jedi's attack."
- ―The IG-100 MagnaGuard
A Raider-class corvette was utilized by a group of raiders during the Imperial Era. After the former Galactic Empire commander Ellian Zahra joined the raiders, she commanded the Raider-class corvette, with an IG-100 MagnaGuard operating aboard it. As part of her vengeance against Princess Leia Organa, Zahra lured her into a trap by attacking the Alderaanian Survivor Fleet, capturing the princess in an escape pod and bringing her aboard the corvette. Although Zahra ordered the IG-100 MagnaGuard to jump the starship to lightspeed before the Rebel Alliance fleet arrived, the droid noted a second escape pod, containing the Jedi Luke Skywalker. Zahra ordered the droid to capture the pod, but not to bring it too close to the vessel. Skywalker was regardless able to break free from the pod and leap across to the corvette to rescue Organa, and Zahra ordered the raiders to kill him. The corvette's systems were damaged in the skirmish, preventing it from jumping to hyperspace. With assistance from the rebel fleet on its way, the other raiders fled the corvette in their starfighters, and the group abandoned Zahra. When rebel forces arrived, they ordered Zahra's corvette to stand down, and the former commander fled in a starfighter. Skywalker allowed her to leave, and Organa instructed the rebels not to shoot her down if she did not attack; however, Zahra turned back toward the corvette, leading the rebels to fire on her fighter and destroy it.[1]
