Hope

The Hope was a Galactic Republic capital ship during the Hutt War. The vessel was stationed at while Supreme Chancellor Homer Anthony Salandra held diplomatic talks with Gorrbag, the leader of the Hutt Empire, in 12,979 BBY. When the Battle of Iridonia broke out, the Hope was destroyed. Its three hundred crew members were also killed. The destruction of the Hope came to be a source of irony for the people of the Republic, as they felt that their hope for peace died with the vessel.
