The modular taskforce cruiser, also known as the Imperial star hauler, was a support vessel class built by Tagge Industries Shipyards Limited for the Dark Empire. These ships functioned as a generic framework on which Mission Function Modules could be mounted and reconfigured as necessary. In 10 ABY, the modular taskforce cruiser Reliance was infiltrated by New Republic commandos to strike at the citadel of Emperor Palpatine.
