Nebulon-B Frigate

Nebulon-B Frigate is an Alliance capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia gives the Nebulon-B frigate's length as 300 meters and says it was first designed to fight starfighters. It carries more weapons than most ships of its class. It can also hold two squadrons of fighters, which the text says makes it a superior vessel.

25th Anniversary patch

The Nebulon-B Frigate is an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate built by Kuat Drive Yards and flown by the Rebel Alliance in escort, medical and other support duties.

Kuat Drive Yards originally built these frigates for the Imperial Navy, and they gained a reputation for versatility and toughness. Following the Battle of Yavin and the loss of the Death Star, a number of Nebulon-Bs were seized or came over to the Rebel Alliance, becoming important assets there. They could serve as escorts, as medical ships and in other jobs, which made them highly useful. Their long, slender profile became familiar, and their involvement in many pivotal engagements gave them a notable place in the naval side of the Galactic Civil War.
