"Red Leader, fire all your missiles off the bow of Cruiser 8."
"But commander, there's nothing out there. No targets."
"Do it now, trooper!"
―Anakin Skywalker and Red Leader, during the Battle of Muunilinst[src]

Cruiser 8 was the designation of an Acclamator-class assault ship that was present during the Battle of Muunilinst. During the battle, while Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker was being pursued by numerous Nantex-class starfighters, he ordered Red Leader to fire all his squadron's missiles towards cruiser 8. Skywalker used the cruiser's bow as a blind spot to ensnare the enemy fighters in many of the missiles, using the rest to destroy a Banking Clan gun platform.
