Summit

The Summit was a Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier which served the Galactic Empire's navy. Around 4 ABY, the vessel was assigned to transport a maintenance crew to the Kudo system on a mission to aid the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Celerity. It also carried Squadron Five of the Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing for protection. Upon arrival in the system, it deployed the TIE interceptors but was disabled by an ion cannon shot from the Celerity.

While Squadron Five fought the Star Destroyer's TIE fighters, the Summit was ordered to surrender and not power up its hyperdrive, but the captain refused. Second Lieutenant Commander Teso Broosh warned the captain that Squadron Five would be unable to cover the cruiser-carrier's retreat, but the captain didn't heed his advice. The Summit attempted to jump to hyperspace, only to be destroyed by turbolaser fire from the Celerity before it could do so.
