Whip Hand was a Lancer-class frigate that was initially operated by the Galactic Empire before it was captured. Later put to use by the New Republic during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Whip Hand participated in a battle in 28 ABY against Yuuzhan Vong forces in the Obroa-skai system before being assigned to guard the crippled cruiser Far Thunder as it made its way to the planet Kashyyyk. However, both ships were ambushed by enemy coralskippers, and, despite managing to repel the starfighters with the help of two New Republic squadrons, Whip Hand was forced to destroy the crippled Far Thunder to prevent the enemy from acquiring it.
