Little Bivoli The Little Bivoli was a " Quartermaster " - class supply carrier that served as a fringer provisioning ship for the Republic Navy until its destruction in 3963 BBY . It was stolen from its original owners on Ralltiir by the Trandoshan Slyssk , a former member of the pirate organization Raff Syndicate . He was hired by the Snivvian black marketeer Marn " Gryph " Hierogryph , a companion of the Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick — both accused of perpetrating the Padawan Massacre of Taris , where four of Carrick ' s fellow Padawans were killed by their Masters . When the ship left Ralltiir , it was contacted by the Republic Navy ' s Battle Group Serroco and ordered to join formation , as the supply carrier had served the fleet previously . The battle group jumped to hyperspace for Serroco , where it took part in a battle against the Mandalorians in the ongoing war between the Republic and the Mandalorians . Hierogryph continued the ship ' s provisioning role in order to make quick money and did so successfully with the " Little Bivoli " earning the reputation for being better than the Navy commissary . It was on Serroco that the " Little Bivoli " was destroyed when the Mandalorians bombarded the planet from orbit . Description . The " Little Bivoli " was a " Quartermaster " - class supply carrier , manufactured by Corellia StarDrive , which served as a provisioning ship . Both sides of the forty - five meter long ship could fold out to reveal dining areas with tables and chairs . The dining areas were on the diagonal surfaces of the vessel when folded and would not be beneath the partial shelter of the overhanging hull when open , meaning that these parts were not protected from rain . The buffets and galley serving these dining areas were located in the middle of the ship . Stores for cargo and quarters for the ship ' s crew were situated above the galley with the cockpit to the front of the ship on the starboard side . There was also a walkway that ran over the galley from the cockpit which gave a view of the entire dining area on that side . The dining areas were staffed by serving droids which were often not adequately maintained . The ship ' s name was written in Aurebesh on the sides of the ship above the sections which folded out . History . Acquisition . In 3963 BBY , the Arkanian offshoots Jarael and Camper left the planet Ralltiir on their ship , " The Last Resort " , to find a cure for Camper ' s illness on Arkania . Their companions , the Snivvian black marketeer Marn " Gryph " Hierogryph and the Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick , were forced to look for passage offworld in order to continue with Carrick ' s plans to clear himself and Hierogryph from being the falsely accused perpetrators of the Padawan Massacre of Taris — where four of Carrick ' s fellow Padawans were killed by their Masters . After bidding farewell to " The Last Resort " crew , the Jedi met up with Hierogryph , who told him that he had already found them passage by hiring a ship , and that they were to go to Pad 223 at midnight to collect it . Unbeknownst to Carrick , the Snivvian had hired the Trandoshan Slyssk , a former member of the pirate organization Raff Syndicate , to steal a ship for them . They did not have the money to buy a ship and Hierogryph did not think it proper to steal a ship himself . Slyssk was kicked out of the Raff Syndicate before learning how to actually fly the ships he was taught to steal . He demonstrated this lack of skill at piloting when he delivered the " Little Bivoli " to Pad 223 by knocking over a lamppost and damaging another . After some difficulty in getting the timid Slyssk to emerge , he eventually did so , but the Trandoshan demanded ten times the nine thousand credits that Hierogryph was to pay him ; as a result of the Snivvian ' s reputation , Slyssk felt that Hierogryph could easily afford it . The two then argued about the price for the ship , causing Carrick to burst out laughing at the futility of his companion ' s argument . Hierogryph then subtly suggested that the Padawan use the Force to coerce Slyssk into standing down . Carrick pulled a damaged lamppost down on top of Slyssk , but not before Hierogryph pulled him out of the way . This fooled Slyssk into making a life debt to him , declaring the Snivvian to be his Ghrakhowsk , the Trandoshan term for the person to whom a life - debt was being pledged . It was this life - debt that let Hierogryph and Carrick have the ship without having to pay Slyssk in that he had to , by terms of the life - debt , serve his Grakhowsk . At this point , the previous fringer owners — freelance provisioners that supported overwhelmed official channels — arrived and started shooting at the trio in an attempt to stop them from stealing the " Little Bivoli " . To save themselves from trouble with the original owners , Slyssk , Carrick , and Hierogryph rushed onto the ship and took off . When they reached orbit , they were hailed by the " Courageous " , the " Inexpugnable " - class flagship of Battle Group Serroco . The crew of the " Little Bivoli " was ordered to merge into formation for a hyperspace jump bound for Serroco , given that their newly acquired vessel had often served as a provisioning ship for the Republic Navy throughout the Republic ' s ongoing conflict with the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders . Camp Three . Upon arriving on Serroco with the Republic fleet , the " Little Bivoli " continued its role as a provisioning ship , as Hierogryph did not want to pass up an opportunity to make easy money . The ship was soon common knowledge at Camp Three for having the best food served in the camp , even more so than the army commissary . One of the ship ' s popular dishes was Bivoli Tempari , prepared by Slyssk . According to Hierogryph , Trandoshans such as Slyssk were not known for being good cooks , because no one had ever asked them to cook . Hierogryph used this to entice Carth Onasi , a lieutenant in the Courageous battle group , to eat at the " Little Bivoli " . With Hierogryph being the host at the front , Carrick was relegated to dish - washing , but it seemed that he often did not actually wash the dishes . At one point , the Snivvian host went to see why the supply of clean plates for the buffet was low and found the Jedi meditating on the Force to clear his mind , due to the stress of hiding in the Republic Navy while being a fugitive from the false accusations that he was behind the Padawan Massacre . Carrick was forced to abandon his meditation when one of the serving droids dropped a tray of food on some soldiers ' coats . After a confrontation with the disgruntled soldiers , Carrick met Lieutenant Onasi — being careful to use an alias so as to keep his identity hidden — and started talking about the Republic camps . At the close of their conversation , the lieutenant remarked that he had a lot of work to do before the Mandalorians arrived the next day . When Onasi had left , Carrick went to find Hierogryph counting large piles of credits in a room in the ship . The Padawan stated how he felt they should pull out before the Mandalorians arrived , to which the black marketeer responded with the fact that the soldiers were hungry and laden with money making his business as the new manager of the " Little Bivoli " rather successful . After becoming irritated by his companion ' s refusal to leave , Carrick left the ship to get some air . He then had a Force vision of the Mandalorians bombing Serroco , which would later be the turning point of the imminent Battle of Serroco . Carrick told Hierogryph that they had to pull out as soon as possible , and then stowed away aboard Onasi ' s ship to reach the commander of the " Courageous " , Admiral Saul Karath , so that he could warn Karath of what the Padawan had foreseen . Destruction . The Mandalorians arrived in orbit the following day , and it was only after lunch that Hierogryph started closing up to leave Serroco , despite Carrick ' s request for him to depart earlier . However , Slyssk revealed that there was not enough fuel left in the " Little Bivoli " to even make it into orbit and explained that he had stolen the ship before the original owners had time to fully refuel the ship . Slyssk and Hierogryph managed to escape from the planet aboard a Republic troop transport and were reunited with Carrick soon thereafter . After the bombardment , the " Little Bivoli " showed up on the " Courageous " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > scanners as being destroyed . The ship was then officially listed to the general public as a ship destroyed in the Battle of Serroco , among other fringer ships , in " " . Later , around the time of the Trial of Demagol , Hierogryph acquired a restaurant chain as part of a propaganda story in honor of his and Slyssk ' s actions at Serroco . One of the restaurants on Coruscant , Goodvalor ' s Little Bivoli , was a replica of the " Quartermaster " - class ship . Owners and operators . The original owners of the " Little Bivoli " operated the ship as a fringer provisioning ship . The only other owner was Hierogryph , who assumed ownership when Slyssk stole it for him . Slyssk served as the cook for the ship while it was in operation on Serroco while Hierogryph served as the host . During his time on the ship , Carrick cleaned plates for the buffet , but served food when the serving droids malfunctioned . The gold humanoid droids were poorly maintained during their service with the original owners of the " Little Bivoli " which resulted in them dropping trays of food on occasion . Behind the scenes . The " Little Bivoli " was first introduced in " " , and was destroyed at the conclusion of the in " " . The " Little Bivoli " was later identified as a " Quartermaster " - class supply carrier in the " Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide " , which was released in 2008 . Dustin Weaver penciled the " Little Bivoli " in " Days of Fear , Part 1 " and " Days of Fear , Part 3 " , whereas Brian Ching penciled it in " " . John Jackson Miller was the writer for these three issues . Miller derived the name for the " Little Bivoli " from Bivoli Tempari ; a foodstuff which he found in " Star Wars Galaxies " that first appeared in " Riders of the Maelstrom " .
