Harasser

The Harasser battle group consisted of two EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates—designated Harasser 1 and Harasser 2—that served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. They were part of a task force led by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Invincible during Operation Strike Fear. While mustering in the Dellalt system, the Harasser group was identified by a Rebel reconnaissance mission flown by Keyan Farlander in a lone R-22 Spearhead.

Characteristics

Both Harasser 1 and Harasser 2 were fitted with turbolaser batteries and hangar bays, and were painted the standard gray of the Imperial Fleet and marked with two small white Imperial emblems on each side of the bow and one small white one on each side of the stern of each ship.

Behind the scenes

In the Child of Light roleplaying game adventure written by Lee Pickler and released by the RPGA on behalf of Wizards of the Coast, a Harasser group Nebulon-B escort frigate enters the Dalicron system and places it under quarantine while the player characters are attempting to take a strongly Force-sensitive child, named Caeleb, into Alliance protection.

The Harasser group was represented by a single Nebulon-B frigate miniature in the initial release of the Star Wars PocketModel TCG. The fact that a single unit is labeled Harasser—rather than two separate ships separately identified as Harasser 1 and Harasser 2—is irrelevant due to the allowance of the use of multiple copies of units by a player in the game.
