Mynock ( Helot - class ) The Mynock was a starship commanded by Cade Skywalker , named after the parasitic mynock . Aside from Cade , his crew included co - pilot Jariah Syn , mechanic Deliah Blue and later astromech droid R2 - D2 . Characteristics . The " Mynock " began life as a " Helot " - class medium space transport , built by Cade ' s uncle " Bantha " Rawk ( aka Nat Skywalker ) and extensively modified by Deliah Blue . Much like the legendary " Millennium Falcon " , she was heavily customized from the original configuration ; in fact , it was rumored in many spaceports that virtually nothing of the " Mynock " s original design existed on the current incarnation of the ship . Modifications included enhanced armor , sub - light engines , weapons and hyperdrive , and shield generators for additional protection , the latter not normally equipped on a " Helot " - class transport . For weapons , the ship was armed with at least two medium laser cannons on either side of its bridge module , additional heavy laser cannons on a turret assembly on its ventral side , which could retract into the ship when not in use , and one quad laser cannon on its tail module . As well , it could carry at least three starfighters within its hold . All of these modifications would produce a ship that could fly nearly as fast as dedicated starfighters in both sub - light and hyperspace , while possessing Corvette level defenses and firepower . History . Skywalker and his crew used the " Mynock " to ferry themselves around the galaxy while hunting down bounties . Like many other ships of questionable legality , the " Mynock " had its transponder code s changed regularly . During the Second Imperial Civil War , they were hired to transport Marasiah Fel to Vendaxa . While on the planet , a skirmish broke out between the opposing factions of the Galactic Empire and several fugitive Jedi . During the battle , the " Mynock " shot down at least one Sith fighter with its quad laser cannon . Later , piloting the " Mynock " to Coruscant , Cade easily outflew a squadron of Predator - class fighter s and hid on the side of a building in the Coruscant Undercity using docking clamps . He locked down the ship , leaving R2 - D2 in charge , but left the access codes with Jool at Rik ' s Cantina in case his crew should eventually show up , and he did not return from his mission to the Temple of the Sith . In order for them to raid the Sith Temple , they had to change its ID signature to Chak ' s . The " Mynock " flew above the Temple , preparing to drop Corde . Skull Squadron engaged it , but had to withdraw so as not to violate the laws of the Sith . They successfully managed to rescue Cade and flee the planet . The " Mynock " soon came back to Socorro to retrieve the " Grinning Liar " and then flew off to Rawk ' s Nest on Iego for safety . However , Black Sun was attacking the compound , so its crew decided to help out . But after a few days there , an Imperial patrol came by looking for Skywalker but were dissuaded by Azlyn Rae . Deciding that killing Krayt would end his problems , Cade traveled to the Hidden Temple to ask for Jedi help . Unfortunately , the Council rejected his rash course of action . But Cade was joined by Azlyn , Antares Draco , Ganner Krieg , and Shado Vao in his mission . The " Mynock " flew into the Deep Core to Had Abbadon when they were thrust out of hyperspace by the interdiction field of the " Iron Sun " and tractor beamed into the hangar . Shortly after the event that transpired upon the " Iron Sun " , the " Mynock " continued to transport Cade and his company to Had Abaddon , and from there to Kiffex , where it crash landed after Syn and Blue flew her through an electrical storm while Cade held onto to a barely living Azlyn . Deliah was able repair the ship just before Cade was banished from Kiffex . Later , it also fought in the Battle of Coruscant .
