The Yekkabird was a Pacifier-class sector patrol cruiser of the Galactic Republic, owned by[1] the Core Worlds planet[3] Corellia, a member world of the Republic Defense Coalition. The Yekkabird was one of five Pacifier-class cruisers dispatched by Republic Defense Coalition member worlds under the command of Admiral Pevel Kronara during the Battle of Kur against the Nihil. The Yekkabird and the Alderaanian cruiser Marillion were destroyed during the battle, one of which was ripped apart by a Nihil harpoon maneuever, while the other was bombed using escape pods from a seemingly drifting Nihil corvette.[1]
