Wilsey

Wilsey was a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle that saw service with the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.

In an effort to acquire more intelligence about a secret Imperial military project, the Alliance planned to capture several communications satellites. Learning that some had been stolen from the Imperial base on Orron III, the Alliance sent Wilsey, under the escort of Keyan Farlander flying a BTL Y-wing starfighter, to capture the freighter Phoenix.

When the Wilsey boarded and captured the Phoenix, an Imperial force of shuttles and transports, arrived in an attempt to recapture the freighter. Farlander defeated this force, which allowed the Wilsey to escape into hyperspace shortly before the arrival of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Intrepid.
