| | Brought into service in 25 BBY, the ''Ambition'' was originally joined to Defence Force Dorn as part of the Ascendant Fleet's older structure. Due to the mixed roles of its design. it also served as an asset of the Circle, typically in the role of transportation but also as a primary location when required. It was one of the few ships to escape the destruction of the fleet during 34 ABY, and was moved to the newly designated Command Force Aurek during the rebuilding and restructuring of the Clan's navy. It would later be reassigned to the first Mobile Fleet. It served Clan Plagueis loyally in the Ascendant Fleet for years. However, in 40 ABY, during the [[Fifteenth Great Jedi War]], it was captured by [[The Children of Mortis]]. The Children then used it in a false flag attack during a summit of several Brotherhood Clans on [[starwars:Cantonica|Cantonica]]. During the ensuing battle, the ''Ambition'' was destroyed. |
