Starbreaker 12 The Starbreaker 12 was a starship owned by the Daragon family in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . Originally owned by husband - and - wife starship operators Hok and Timar Daragon and used as a backup to their main craft , the " Shadow Runner " , the ship was bequeathed to their children , Gav and Jori Daragon , after their deaths . The Daragon siblings subsequently became hyperspace explorers , although they were not very successful . After one run , the " Starbreaker 12 " was taken by local repair dock owner Aarrba as collateral for repairs for which the Daragons were unable to pay . After narrowly escaping assassins sent to kill them after one of local merchant lord Ssk Kahorr ' s ships , the " Zeta Five " , was destroyed on one of the Daragons ' routes , Gav and Jori Daragon were forced to steal the " Starbreaker 12 " from Aarrba ' s Repair Dock and take a hyperspace jump into unknown territory to flee pursuers . The hyperspace jump eventually brought the " Starbreaker 12 " and her crew to the Sith Empire . Touching down on the planet Korriban in the middle of the funeral of Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos in the Valley of the Dark Lords , Gav and Jori Daragon were arrested and the " Starbreaker 12 " impounded in the Sith Citadel on the world of Ziost . It was not long , however , until the scheming Sith Lord Naga Sadow launched an attack and freed Gav and Jori Daragon , bringing them to his fortress on Khar Delba ; the " Starbreaker 12 " was stolen and taken to Khar Delba by Sadow ' s Massassi agents soon afterward . Sadow ' s rival , Ludo Kressh , quickly attacked Khar Delba after discovering Sadow ' s treachery , and Sadow allowed Jori to slip away in the " Starbreaker 12 " during the battle , though not before planting a tracking device on the ship , which later led him back to the Galactic Republic to launch an attack . When Jori returned to her homeworld of Koros Major , the " Starbreaker 12 " was taken by Ssk Kahorr as payment for the destruction of the " Zeta Five " . Kahorr decided to take the ship on a joyride to test its functions , but the ship was destroyed by Sadow ' s large Sith fleet , which had followed the tracking device to the Republic . Description . The " Starbreaker 12 " utilized a pair of solar sails located on the exterior of the craft and featured a hyperdrive . On the exterior of the ship , below the cockpit , a mass of tendril - like protrusions came out from the interior . The engines glowed yellow when ignited , and the extremities protruding from the main body of the ship were connected by wires . The hull itself was uneven and was a tan color . The cockpit had seats for the pilot and copilot , with the main controls laid out in front of them on a dashboard . The dashboard included the controls for the hyperdrive , which used a dial system for coordinate input . The ship also contained a dormitory area , which featured bunk beds . Below the beds was a footlocker containing blasters and other weaponry . History . Into the unknown . The " Starbreaker 12 " was originally owned by starship operators Hok and Timar Daragon , and used as a backup ship for their main ship , the " Shadow Runner " . The Daragons had two children , Gav and Jori , who were also aspiring starship operators . In 5000 BBY , the Unification Wars raged in the Daragons ' home system , the Koros system , where the political leader Empress Teta launched a crusade to unify the seven worlds of the system . Teta ' s forces were able to unite six of the seven worlds , but their campaign stalled at the final world , Kirrek , where rebel forces encircled and besieged the Tetan army in their citadel . With supplies running low , many starship operators , including the Daragons in the " Shadow Runner " , began running supplies to the Tetan forces . Although Gav and Jori wished to follow them in the " Starbreaker 12 " , the ship was kept as collateral by Aarrba , who ran Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , for repairs to the " Shadow Runner " . However , Hok and Timar Daragon did not return from this mission , as they were killed by rebel gun turrets . Upon learning of their deaths , Aarrba gave the Daragon siblings the " Starbreaker 12 " . With heavy hearts , the pair vowed to explore the galaxy in the " Starbreaker 12 " . Gav and Jori Daragon then became hyperspace trailblazers , although they were not particularly successful . In their endeavors , the ship was usually damaged , and often had to be repaired by Aarrba . On one of their more successful runs in the " Starbreaker 12 " , the Daragons were able to map a shortcut to the Goluud system ; the route , called the Goluud Corridor , was approved by the bureaucrat Shodon Ko of the Navigators ' Guild . However , the assigned risk factor was high , as it crossed dangerously close to the system ' s unstable red supergiant star , Primus Goluud , reducing the possibility that the route would be utilized by others . The Daragons quickly accumulated debt and gathered creditors , and at one point , they were forced to sell their dwelling in Cinnagar to pay for repairs to the " Starbreaker 12 " . On one run , the duo attempted to navigate the treacherous Starswarm Cluster . Although they succeeded in passing through the cluster , the " Starbreaker 12 " was badly damaged , and the route they mapped was worthless . The two were left to limp home in their damaged ship and flew the " Starbreaker 12 " to Aarrba ' s Repair Dock . Since the Daragons did not have enough money to pay for repairs , Aarrba kept the ship with him at his dock until the Daragons were able to pay . Meanwhile , the Daragons got themselves in a great deal of trouble . The ruthless Cha ' a merchant lord Ssk Kahorr , furious over the loss of his ship " Zeta Five " on the Goluud Corridor , sent assassins after the Daragons . The bounty hunters were able to corner the Daragons in a dead - end alley , but the Daragons were rescued by passing Jedi Knights Memit Nadill and Odan - Urr . The Jedi advised them to leave Cinnagar as soon as possible , and the Daragons hatched a daring plan to steal the " Starbreaker 12 " from Aarrba ' s Repair Dock and flee to parts unknown . Although the Daragons were able to easily take the ship from the hangar where she was being held , once in orbit , they were pursued by Cinnagar security forces . The " Starbreaker 12 " was able to elude the security ships and jumped into the unknown . The Sith Empire . The " Starbreaker 12 " flight plan took her farther than any recorded vessel coming from the Galactic Republic had ever gone . After a long journey , the Daragons emerged above a mysterious world . The " Starbreaker 12 " was deep into a section of the galaxy that was not well - mapped , although the return course was locked into the navicomputer in case they had to return home . As they were unsure if the planet before them was inhabited , the Daragons decided to land and explore . Bringing the " Starbreaker 12 " below the planet ' s atmosphere , the Daragons observed a great spectacle of monuments , gold , and jewels . The two flew " Starbreaker 12 " above a large canyon , and saw ships and people . The Daragons decided to land the ship in this canyon . However , the Daragons were promptly arrested by the natives . Little did they know , they had stumbled upon the fabled Sith Empire , which had been isolated for centuries . The " Starbreaker 12 " had landed in the tomb - filled Valley of the Dark Lords . At the moment , it was hosting the funeral of deceased Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos , which had degenerated into a duel between rival Sith Lords Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh . The " Starbreaker 12 " was impounded in the hangar of the Sith Citadel on the world of Ziost , while Gav and Jori Daragon were imprisoned in a small cell on the prisoner level . Meanwhile , a great debate raged regarding the fate of the Daragons and of the ship ; Ludo Kressh wanted the Daragons executed , while Naga Sadow believed that the Daragons possessed important information and should be left alive . Eventually the decision was made to execute the Daragons . Despite this , the fate of the " Starbreaker 12 " still hung in the balance . The " Starbreaker 12 " was guarded by a Sith slave , although the slave had little ability to stop intruders . On one occasion , Naga Sadow ordered two of his Massassi warrior s to take weapons from the ship ; the warriors easily overpowered the guard and entered the ship , taking two blasters from a footlocker in the dormitory area . These two blasters were used in an attack led by Sadow on the Sith Citadel ' s prisoner level , covertly freeing the Daragons from their cell , and hiding them in his citadel on the planet Khar Delba . Sadow planted the blasters at the scene to make it look like a Republic attack , sending the Sith Empire into a frenzy . Sadow took this opportunity to declare himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith . The " Starbreaker 12 " was protected by Ludo Kressh and his personal guards in its Ziost holding bay . Soon , however , the guards came under attack by forces affiliated with the Dark Lord Naga Sadow . Kressh ' s guards were routed , and the " Starbreaker 12 " was stolen and brought to Khar Delba . Kressh arrived at the scene after the " Starbreaker 12 " had been stolen , and initially thought that it was a Republic attack . However , he discovered Sadow ' s emblem at the hangar , revealing to him that Sadow was behind the attack . On Khar Delba , Sadow brought the " Starbreaker 12 " to Jori Daragon , whom he had kept at the citadel . An elated Daragon wanted to take the ship and return to the Republic , but Sadow warned her to be cautious . Suddenly , the citadel was attacked by Ludo Kressh and his fleet . With Kressh and his allies bombarding the world from orbit , Sadow told Jori Daragon that she had to leave , without her brother . Daragon took off in the " Starbreaker 12 " , only to find herself in the midst of the space battle . Kressh sighted the ship and ordered his starfighter pilots to destroy it ; however , the " Starbreaker 12 " was able to evade them and jump into hyperspace , destined for the Koros system . Daragon remained unaware that Sadow had placed a tracking device on the " Starbreaker 12 " hull , so Sadow could eventually launch an attack on the Republic itself . Return to the Republic . When Jori Daragon brought the " Starbreaker 12 " out of hyperspace over Koros Major , the ship nearly collided with a Cinnagar Control command ship . Despite the warnings of Cinnagar Control , Jori Daragon attempted to inform them of the Sith . However , the " Starbreaker 12 " had been put on a wanted list after the ship ' s initial escape from the Koros system , and Cinnagar Control sent starfighters to capture the ship . Jori Daragon maneuvered the " Starbreaker 12 " toward the planet ' s surface , causing the starfighters to fire a warning shot at the ship . Daragon continued to speed the ship toward the planet , landing it in a busy Cinnagar square . When Daragon left the ship , she was arrested by Cinnagar Control . Her tales of the Sith fell on deaf ears , and a rather large crowd gathered around the ship , including Aarrba . Also in the crowd was Ssk Kahorr , who claimed the ship was legally his . Due to a Merchants ' Guild decision , the ship had been granted to Kahorr as payment for the destruction of " Zeta Five " . Jori Daragon was detained by the Cinnagar authorities as Kahorr took possession of the ship , and she was sentenced to labor on the colony world of Ronika , a predicament from which she escaped . Now in possession of the " Starbreaker 12 " , Ssk Kahorr and his personal assistant Gorrm decided to take the ship on a joyride to test the ship ' s functions . Suddenly , however , a proximity alert sounded , and Gorrm found many ships dropping out of hyperspace . A large battle fleet appeared before them , frightening Kahorr and Gorrm . The battle fleet was commanded by Naga Sadow , who had followed the " Starbreaker 12 " beacon back to the Republic . Although the " Starbreaker 12 " tried to flee , Sadow ' s fleet destroyed the ship . Commanders and crew . The " Starbreaker 12 " was originally owned by Hok and Timar Daragon , though it was used as a backup to their primary ship , the " Shadow Runner " . After their deaths , the ship fell into the possession of their children , Gav and Jori Daragon . In the Sith Empire , however , the ship was briefly commandeered by a group of Massassi warriors before possession of the ship was turned back over to Jori Daragon . After the return of Jori Daragon and the " Starbreaker 12 " to Republic space , the ship was taken by Ssk Kahorr , who legally acquired it after the destruction of " Zeta Five " . Ssk Kahorr , along with his personal assistant Gorrm , only got the opportunity to fly this ship once before it was destroyed . Behind the scenes .
