Det lanserade faktiskt några år före klonkrigen, och flottan var på en punkt full av trupper, men de dog innan den hittades, men de bära experimentella vandrare:

Highly advanced for its time and equipped with state of the art automation systems, it was lost in its first hyperspace voyage. The fleet consisted of 200 modified Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers, all carrying experimental AT-PT walkers. The ships' controls could be slaved to the controls of Katana [the name of the flagship]

Dessutom hade Grand Admiral Thrawn en plan att använda kloner som han skapade som besättning:

Initially, the New Republic believed Thrawn would not be able to take advantage of his new vessels, since he would require over three hundred thousand crewers for the Katana fleet—2,000 for each of the 178 ships. However, Thrawn proved to be more resourceful, using clones produced in days (instead of the years) from Spaarti cloning cylinders in the Emperor's storehouse on Wayland to crew his ships.

Det var stor spänning om vem som skulle hitta den först, eftersom den skulle flytta kraften i galaxen:

By 6 ABY, the balance of power between the New Republic, Imperial Remnant, and warlord forces was so precarious that, despite their age, it was believed that any faction that recovered the fleet would immediately become the dominant force in the galaxy.

De tre romanen släpptes 1991, 1992 och 1993.
