The designer of the Nebulon-B Frigate, Kuat Drive Yards, also produced the Imperial Star Destroyer, and has always been loyal to the Empire. The Nebulon-B or Escort Frigate was designed to attack starfighters during battles, for that reason very precise weapons are stationed on the starship. In the early days of its existence, Rebels succeeded in capturing the plans and began producing their own Escort Frigate's. The Alliance used the Frigate especially as a transport for wounded Rebels, and for that case they removed many of the weapon systems and replaced them for life-support systems, such as bacta tanks and other medical equipments. That's why the Escort Frigate was soon mentioned the 'Medical Frigate'. On the Medical Frigate Redemption Luke Skywalker got his artificial hand, after his battle with Darth Vader on Cloud City. The military Nebulon-B Frigate was also in use by the Alliance, for escorting and rescue missions. The military frigate has more weapons than a standard one, and can carry more starfighters. They are strong shielded and have twelve turbo- and lasercannons, and room for twenty-four starfighters. Because they were made to repel starfighter attacks, they can survive many skirmishes unharmed
