The Finest Hour headed for Coruscant.
The Finest Hour was the name of a cruiser owned by General Yoakido. It was used by him and his members of Alpha Squadron for any battles they encountered. In 33 BBY, The Finest Hour was headed to Coruscant to set up a meeting with Jedi Master Yoda, but the ship changed courses to Nar Shaddaa when they intercepted transmissions of a threat in Huttese. General Yoakido learned of the assassins boarding the ship when a transmission sent by Alpha One was cut off. General Yoakido went alone to help his last two soliders. He ordered Alpha Leader to guard the control room and protect the general's son Ben Yoakido, Ben's friend Brent Rhea, and the co-pilot. Ben realized he couldn't let his father be killed and he was actually second in command. Ben and Brent left Alpha Leader and the co-pilot alone in the control room. General Yoakido arrived to find both Sarah, a.k.a. Alpha Two, and Alpha Three being gunned down by the Givin crime lord of the Skelldon J. Bones Crime Organization Skelldon J. Bones. Yoakido and Skelldon engaged in a short duel, which led to the famed Republic general to fall victim to the feared assassin. Meanwhile, Skelldon's droid companion IG-86 arrived at the control room and killed both Alpha Leader and the co-pilot. Ben and Brent arrived at the hangars only to find the dead corpses of Ben's father and the two bodies of Alphas Two and Three. They escaped in an escape pod and landed on Nar Shaddaa. Skelldon was alerted on the two survivors and was ordered by his boss, Darth Wraddiqus a Sith Lord, to return to their fleet. Skelldon returned the ship to the main cruiser and arrived only to be chastised by the Quarren Sith. IG-86 was in charge of capturing the survivors. The ship's fate is unknown, but it is possible The Finest Hour was either destroyed or now a part of the terrorist fleet.
