The Firefox-class Carrier was among the new ship classes custom designed by Kuat Drive Yards to form the core fleet for a buyer from the Corporate Sector. Construction of the Perdition began in late-mid 25 ABY. Among the first ships constructed it received one of the few inspections of its future Dark Jedi masters. The ship was sent to the Roche asteroid belt to be further upgraded by the Verpine. As the Brotherhood regrouped from its disastrous introduction to the Vong the Perdition was placed under the control of Clan Plagueis, and now serves as its primary carrier.

The Perdition is stationed above Kapsina, housing nearly its full two wings of starfighters in preparation for the expected return of the Yuuzhan Vong. This typical complement consists of 3 squadrons of Scimitar Assault Bombers (Winter, Blight, and Serpent), and 6 squadrons of TIE Interceptors (Void, Scythe, Spark, Vortex, Flamberge, and Huntress).
