Juno (freighter group)

Juno was a group of three BFF-1 bulk freighters used by the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.

During Operation Strike Fear, shortly after the Battle of Brigia, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Invincible was in need of resupplies ahead of a planned attack on Rudrig. The CR90 corvette Ranger, formed a supply convoy with Juno, carrying droids (Juno 1), food (Juno 2) and machinery (Juno 3) to Invincible under TIE escort.

The convoy came under attack from a Rebel raiding party. Two X-wings from Red Squadron flown by Keyan Farlander and Sunnar Jan-lo arrived first and drew off the convoy's escort. Two Y-wings from Blue Squadron arrived shortly after and attacked the now defenseless convoy. All three freighters were destroyed.

The loss of the convoy disrupted Operation Strike Fear for several weeks.
