Imperial Replenishment Fleet DK-209

Imperial Replenishment Fleet DK-209 was a refueling fleet within the navy of the Galactic Empire. The Field Secured Container Vessel Black Ice was crucial to the fleet's operations, an enormous fueling starship that was used to transport around a billion tonnes of fuel, enough to supply an Imperial battle fleet for over one year. It also contained at least several TIE/LN starfighters and another model of starship. During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance attacked and took control of the Black Ice, in order to compensate its lost Choah asteroid belt fuel refinery. Taken under assault from rebel starfighters, the ship was later destroyed in a collision.
