Even considering its age, the Nebula-class still represented the peak of modern, efficient Star Destroyer design during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Despite this, Nebulas performed well in clashes with the extra-galactic warships once they finally did see combat. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, the few ships of the New Republic's valuable Nebula-class were kept close to the Core Worlds in reserve fleets due to political pressure. 17 ABY, with projections of one more being launched each year until the New Class build program was completed.

Due to the process of building compact yet powerful warships of this sort, only a small number of Nebula-class ships were built. The ship was commanded by Captain Whyrrryk, a female Wookiee. The first of the class to enter service was the Obi-Wan, named after one of the Rebellion's heros. The ship's introduction was said to be ill-timed, as it occurred during what was considered to be the most peaceful year since the founding of the New Republic. In 15 ABY, the Nebula-class became the last of the eight new starship designs of the New Class to enter service. When work eventually resumed the design became part of the New Class program and lent its hull design to the Endurance-class carrier. DESCRIPTION: The Nebula-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Defender-class Star Destroyer was the largest, most powerful warship design in the New. The Defender program was derailed by delays caused by political distractions and the campaigns of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the reborn Palpatine. Formally renamed as the Defender when it was made a part of the Defender design program, the Nebula-class refined the core elements of Walex Blissex's Republic-class design into a smaller, more angular hull.

The biggest downsides is its price and build time, its 5000 credits more expensive and takes 100 seconds longer to build than an ISD, which hinders widespread use and means it needs to be protected at all costs, as building a new one will not always be an viable option.Nebula Class Star destroyer (Pre-Yuuzhan Vong War Varient) The Nebula is the ultimate hard-counter to the Imperial Star Destroyers, it possess exaordinary firepower for a ship its size and its shields rival those on Mon Calamari Cruisers, while being slightly faster than an ISD, it can be extremely effective if properly supported, as while it can take a beating, it can be easily destroyed if focused down on, and like any star destroyers, fighter-bombers and torpedo boats like the HF-901 Freighter are its biggest enemies.
