Selu The Selu was a YT - 1300 light freighter owned by the Azzameen family . Along with its identical sister ship , the " Sabra " , it was utilized as a transport and freighter for family missions and assignments provided by Twin Suns Transport Services , a shipping company owned by the Azzameen family . In addition to the laser cannons , shielding , hyperdrive , and turret available to the YT - 1300 line , the " Selu " was heavily modified to further give the ship protection from raiding forces interfering with Azzameen affairs . Aeron Azzameen , an adept technician and slicer , was often responsible for modifications to the light freighter ; she also typically piloted the ship on family assignments . At the request of family patriarch Tomaas Azzameen , Aeron began training her youngest brother , Ace , in the family trade shortly after the pivotal Battle of Hoth of the Galactic Civil War in 3 ABY . Aeron flew the " Selu " while training Ace , aboard the " Sabra " , by escorting Ace in delivery runs and inspection routines . In one such assignment , the Azzameen siblings discovered that Viraxo Industries , a competitor to the Azzameens ' shipping company , was actively attempting to sabotage the family . In retribution , Tomaas ' s brother and co - owner of Twin Suns Transport Services , Antan Azzameen , developed a plan utilizing the " Selu " . Renamed the " Venix " to avoid identification as an Azzameen craft , the masquerading " Selu " was disabled during an ill - fated raid on a Viraxo cargo facility . Ace was forced to destroy the stranded craft to keep the ship from falling into Viraxo control as he exited the system in the " Sabra " . Description . The " Selu " , owned , operated , and maintained by the Azzameen family and their company , Twin Suns Transport Services , was a YT - 1300 light freighter constructed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation in the YT - series line of light freighters . The starship , measuring 34 . 75 meters in length , functioned as a transport as well as a freighter ; it could carry cargo containers ranging from cargo canister s to Class - L types to and from orbital stations . The " Selu " could reach speeds in excess of 88 MGLT and had a maneuverability rating of 64 DPF ; a hyperdrive device was installed in the ship , allowing it to enter hyperspace to make its deliveries . The " Selu " hull plating was rated at 40 RU , and it utilized a deflector shield generator capable of providing 120 SBD . A forward - facing laser cannon , as well as a dorsal - mounted laser cannon turret able to be operated from the cockpit or from the turret itself , provided the " Selu " with offensive capability against pirates or raiders . The ship could also mount additional systems for both offense and defense ; warhead countermeasure s , beam devices , and warhead launchers were optional units able to be added to the ship while in a hangar . A targeting system , capable of tracking ships and projectiles , worked together with an onboard sensor system used to identify cargoes aboard ships and inside containers . Communications equipment installed in the ship allowed the " Selu " pilot to publicly address installations and hostile vessels . The systems could also be used for private communication with other Azzameen ships . Like its identical sister ship , the " Sabra " , the " Selu " was modified by the Azzameens , including an additional seat in the cockpit of the craft . The freighter could also support the installation of fake transponder code s , which allowed the Azzameens to change the ship ' s identity to infiltrate a rival company ' s supply line . A nameplate , containing its name and craft designation , was present aboard the ship . Externally , the " Selu " matched the " Sabra " in appearance ; both craft also strongly resembled the well - known YT - 1300 tramp freighter " Millennium Falcon " , sporting similar red paint detail and plating arrangement . Family droid MK - 09 regarded both the " Selu " and " Sabra " as fine ships . History . Azzameen family service . The Azzameen family used the " Selu " around the period of the Battle of Hoth — a pivotal conflict in the Galactic Civil War between the forces of the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic — in 3 ABY . During this time , it was mostly flown by Aeron Azzameen in missions for both the Azzameen family and their company , Twin Suns Transport Services . The family kept the ship parked in the hangar of their home , the orbital facility Azzameen Station , located in a system in the Garis sector . Following the Battle of Hoth , family patriarch Tomaas Azzameen decided it was time to teach his youngest son , Ace , the family trade . Aeron was asked to help train the young pilot . To do so , she flew in the " Selu " and relayed instructions to Ace , flying the " Selu " sister ship , the " Sabra " , alongside the family ' s modified maintenance droid , MK - 09 . For Ace ' s first mission behind the controls of a starship , Aeron taught her brother how to properly dock with and carry a cargo container . The " Selu " and " Sabra " were to make a trip through hyperspace to the trading platform Harlequin Station , deliver a pair of cargo canisters , and pick up and return a pair of Class - K cargo container s . Both ships deposited their cargo on the station and were moving to pick up the containers for the return trip when two " Pursuer " - class enforcement ships , the " Enkidu " and the " Gilgam " , flying for the Azzameens ' rival company , Viraxo Industries , arrived intending to raid Harlequin Station . After the station ' s hired security vessel , the IPV - 1 " Kouerd " , fled the system , Harlequin Station ' s director called on the " Selu " and " Sabra " for protection , as they were the only craft in the area . The two Azzameen freighters moved to intercept the interlopers and , after a brief dogfight , forced the " Pursuer " - class ships to leave , much to Harlequin Station ' s relief . The siblings collected their containers and returned to Azzameen Station without further incident . Later , after Aeron accidentally destroyed records for several areas in the family ' s secret cargo fields during a security upgrade of her making , she again used the " Selu " and requested Ace ' s help in the " Sabra " to manually inspect the affected containers in order to rebuild the database . The mission began without incident , but upon arrival in the second area , the cargo ferry " Raider " was discovered attempting to heist a pressure tank filled with LOX . After trying unsuccessfully to hail the intruder , Aeron piloted the " Selu " to intercept the craft ; with the " Raider " exit blocked , the " Sabra " lined up a shot and obliterated the " Raider " . With the pirate disposed of , the " Selu " and " Sabra " completed their scanning and moved to the last affected area . In this third area , the siblings discovered even more foreign presence in the formerly - secret cargo area : two " Razor " - class starfighters escorting the " Enkidu " . Aeron and Ace both moved to once again remove the interloping ships . The " Sabra " challenged the " Razor " - class fighters while the " Selu " charged the " Enkidu " , currently docked with one of the family ' s containers . Although Ace and MK - 09 were able to destroy the starfighters , the " Enkidu " escaped . Upon the " Pursuer " - class ship ' s exit , the " Selu " and " Sabra " investigated the family ' s containers . Eventually , Ace discovered that the container the " Enkidu " had docked with was filled with illegal spice . To protect the family from Imperial investigation , Aeron piloted the " Selu " to retrieve the compromised container and return it to Azzameen Station , where the family would determine what should be done with it . Masquerading as the " Venix " . While the constant harassment of ships from Viraxo Industries — specifically , the " Enkidu " — was already a problem for the Azzameens , the discovery that the Viraxo were actively attempting to sabotage Azzameen affairs pushed Antan Azzameen , brother of Tomaas and co - owner of Twin Suns Transport Services , to develop a plan of retribution . Antan enlisted Aeron , known to the Azzameens as a skillful slicer , to install a fake transponder code into the " Selu " . This code enabled the " Selu " to broadcast its identification as the " Venix " , a frequent supplier to Viraxo Industries , in order to escape suspicion during the retaliatory strike . The " Selu " , masquerading as the " Venix " , was to deliver the container of illicit spice to the Viraxo cargo facility Viraxo 54 in the Denbo system and depart while an Azzameen distraction elicited a visit by local Imperial authorities . Antan hoped the Empire would discover the spice - filled container in its routine after - raid inspection , creating strain between the Viraxo and their Imperial allies . Aeron piloted the disguised ship to Viraxo 54 with the illegal spice in a container that had been repainted to hide any connection to the Azzameen family or their company . With the falsified credentials holding , the " Selu " took place in the line of freighters waiting to deliver their cargo . Ace , piloting the " Sabra " , and brother Emon , flying his Firespray - 31 craft , " Andrasta " , were to enter the system shortly after Aeron deposited the cargo and engage the station ' s " Razor " - class fighters . Unfortunately for the Azzameen plan , the " Selu " container deposit was delayed by a lengthy queue . The brothers arrived before the " Selu " had a chance to offload the container , and Aeron , noticing that her freighter was under increasing scrutiny , decided to flee the system before the ruse was discovered . She alerted Viraxo 54 of her intentions , citing the extenuating circumstances of the ongoing raid , but station security ordered the " Selu " to remain in the queue . Aeron , disagreeing with the station ' s assessment of the situation , disregarded the commands to stay , released the spice container , and piloted the " Selu " toward an exit vector . Before she could leave , however , Viraxo 54 disabled the " Selu " with a barrage of ion cannon blasts . Realizing her ship was now defenseless and stranded , Aeron called out to her brothers for rescue . Emon responded and docked his " Andrasta " to the stranded YT - 1300 freighter . With Aeron aboard , Emon left the area and commanded the " Sabra " to destroy the " Selu " to keep the ship from falling under Viraxo control . Ace did so before exiting himself just as Imperial forces arrived . Though the plan did not proceed as intended and resulted in the loss of the " Selu " , the Azzameen children and their uncle Antan considered the raid a victory . Following the mission , the " Selu " original nameplate was gifted to Ace , who mounted it above a hallway entrance in his quarters . Commanders and crew . The " Selu " was owned and operated by the Azzameen family . The YT - 1300 was often piloted by Aeron Azzameen , who utilized the craft in multiple deliveries for the family . She also performed much of the modifications on both it and its sister ship , the " Sabra " , including the installation of faked transponder codes . Behind the scenes . The " Selu " was featured in the 1999 PC game " " and its Prima Games . In the game , the ship acted as a guide in the tutorial missions by showing the player how to pilot starships , inspect objects , and engage enemies .
