Braha'tok-class gunship

The Braha'tok-class gunship, also known as the Dornean gunship or shortened to Braha'tok, was a model of gunship designed by the Dornean species and built by the Dornean Braha'ket Fleetworks Conglomerate to protect the Dornean homeworld, Dornea, and its star system from the Galactic Empire. Standing at 90 meters long, the vessel was armed with eight turbolaser cannons and eight concussion missile launchers and could carry two starfighters in its underbelly, linked to attachment clips. The Braha'toks were designed as dedicated anti-starfighter platforms but were able to serve a number of other roles.

Following the Dornean treaty with Senator Mon Mothma's secret rebellion, which became officially known as the Rebel Alliance, Braha'tok-class gunships began serving with the rebels. Three of the gunships, including the Orion, fought in the Battle of Atollon in 2 BBY and at least another three took part in the Battle of Scarif in 1 BBY.

One Braha'tok-class gunship named the Apailana's Promise served as escort to the CR90 corvette Thunderstrike for the Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry in 3 ABY, protecting the larger vessel from Imperial forces in numerous battles and distracting the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Herald during the Siege of Inyusu Tor to protect rebel ground forces. At least four Braha'toks joined the Alliance fleet at the Battle of Endor.

The Apailana's Promise came to serve the New Republic in the Battle of Jakku, the final battle of the war, in 5 ABY. Despite being considered outdated by Admiral Ushos O. Statura, these gunships continued to protect Dornea as late as 34 ABY. In 35 ABY, at least four gunships fought with the Citizens' Fleet against the Sith Eternal's forces during the Battle of Exegol.
