The EF76 was used extensively by both sides in the Galactic Civil War. The Nebulon-B was originally designed to defend Imperial convoys against raids by Rebel starfighters, as the Imperial Navy wasn't keen on the idea of relegating its expensive Imperial-class Star Destroyers to escort duty, and the CR90 corvettes were too weak and carried few, if any, TIE Fighters. It largely phased out the Class-C frigate. The EF76 was introduced as a counter-insurgency ship after the Clone Wars. It could be split open by concentrated heavy weapons fire, venting the frigate's atmosphere and killing most of the crew. While generally well-armed for a vessel of that size, its midsection connecting spar was a vulnerability. It was designed to carry twenty-four TIE series starfighters. The standard Nebulon-B frigate was armed with twelve turbolasers, twelve laser cannons, and two tractor beam projectors.
