The Rage was an Imperial Navy Lancer-class frigate that was stationed[2] in 0 ABY[4] alongside two IPV-1 System Patrol Craft, Green/Aura and Green/Besh, at the Galactic Empire's Bavos-II military space platform Station 1B6/Green, on the edge of the Core Worlds' Ringali Nebula. The Rage had 20 Quad laser cannons, and, as a Lancer-class frigate,[2] was manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards.[1] It measured 250 meters long.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Rage was first mentioned in 1998's The Far Orbit Project, by Timothy S. O'Brien. The book was a supplement to West End Games's Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, and had the same theme of the previous publication Pirates & Privateers as it followed the privateering EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Far Orbit. Players can attack Station 1B6/Green with the Far Orbit as a part of a Scenerio Hook. If they do, the Rage will most likely defend the station.[2]
