Originally known as the Dawn Star, the Taanabian Spirit II is a heavily modified Firebrand-class cruiser that's been operating since before the fall of Mandalore. Originally a standard artillery cruiser, the Dawn Star was stripped of her weapons system to repair other vessels in the fleet of survivors from Concord Dawn. After being stripped of her weapons systems, she was converted into a hydroponics ships to help make some of the fleet's own food. After serving in this role, and with Clan Gred settling in Taanab, the Down Star was for all intents and purposes mothballed until a new mission for the vessel was decided on. And with that she would again receive an extensive refit, and with it a name change to Taanabian Spirit after a Nebulan-B2 that had been lost during Hammerfall. Along with this, while technically being operated by both Clan Gred and Tal, it has mostly moved to operating with Clan Tal's medical fleet.
With her many refits, the Taanabian Spirit has become an extremely capable medical and relief ship, along with being fitted with almost unbreakable defenses and a Central A.I. unit. At the same time the cruise has extremely limited defensive weapons, and it's A.I. can be somewhat ironically willing to bend some rules to get relief jobs done.
