Mercy (Frigate)

The Mercy was once a medium-sized Imperial spaceship, appropriated by the Rebel Alliance while still under construction, and put in service by them as a hospital ship as of 5 ABY. In 18 ABY, it was located in orbit above Ossus with the mission profile of receiving wounded soldiers and other operatives during the various wars in the galaxy.

Characteristics
The Mercy was more than two kilometers long and 250 meters across, and she could accommodate around 5,000 patients, with 4,250 bacta tanks&mdash;although even that was far from sufficient to meet the casualties of the Galactic Civil War and future events. The ship was often crammed with injured and possibly dying patients. This frequent overflowing was later alleviated by the addition of other ships to take on similar roles.

The ship's Ward 114 was reserved for members of Alliance Intelligence and special forces, but was later reassigned to treat those in need of intensive care.

History
Guan Blackthorne was scheduled to be healed in Tank 23 located in Ward 114, after sustaining a serious injury on Ronu II at the hands of his brother.

The ship was part of the fleet stationed at Ossus after the Jedi Order relocated their headquarters there from Onderon.
