Ultimo Vista / Legends The Ultimo Vista was a " giga " - class transport that roamed the vast cityscape of the Galactic Republic capital planet Coruscant in the years immediately leading up to the Clone Wars . Fully autonomous , the " Ultimo Vista " , along with several thousand full - time residents , slowly traveled around the planet with no predetermined endpoint . As such , the ship was essentially a self - contained miniature planet ; the luxury transport contained several climate - controlled areas designed and fitted with forests and bodies of water , as well as rows of apartment blocks . Portions of the ship ' s travel course passed above Corusca Circus in the Old District of the planet - wide city . Description . The " Ultimo Vista " was a " giga " - class transport built with the intention to serve as a self - sufficient pleasure cruiser . As such , the interior of the ship was modeled to be completely contained within itself ; several apartment - style living quarters , arranged in blocks lining the exterior of the pleasure transport , provided residence for the multiple thousand passengers who made the ship their home . Also included within the ship were multiple enclosed habitation areas . These were climate - controlled ; their contents ranged from concentrations of forests , rivers , and small seas . The ship boasted several sports fields near to the vast apartment blocks . Toward the rear of the craft sat areas designated for storage . The ship was roughly ovoid in shape ; a stabilizer sat horizontally on the ship ' s fore . Several rings of light , colored blue , also showed on the craft , giving the " Ultimo Vista " a strange glow . The ship also moved fairly slowly , in keeping with the leisurely profile the " Ultimo Vista " was designed for . The combination of these traits , along with its autonomous profile , inspired the description " ghost ship " to form from many of Coruscant ' s residents . History . The " Ultimo Vista " was considered an odd sight in the ecumenopolis of the planet Coruscant . The ship began its voyage through the many city districts of Coruscant several decades before 22 BBY . The " Ultimo Vista " was loaded with several thousand residents , and set off on its journey . However , the journey it was scheduled to follow never contained an endpoint ; the ship was destined to roam the skyways of the planet - wide city for as long as it would operate . It did so , with the several thousand passengers living aboard the self - contained ship . As the ship aged , these residents did as well . By the time surrounding the Battle of Geonosis and the advent of the Clone Wars , most of the " giga " - class transport ' s passengers had become elderly , living much of their lives on the ship . During their chase after Zam Wesell , an assassin who had attempted to kill Senator Padmé Amidala in 22 BBY , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker narrowly avoided impact with the slow - moving craft inside of an airspeeder . Utilizing his skills in piloting mechanical craft , Skywalker pulled the " borrowed " airspeeder out of a dive at the last second , much to the chagrin of his master , and continued the chase . During this time , the " Ultimo Vista " was cruising through Corusca Circus in the Old District of Coruscant . Behind the scenes . The " Ultimo Vista " was first briefly spotted in during the scenes involving the pursuit of Zam Wesell . Its backstory , as well as several descriptions , were presented in the book " " , and again in the later collection " " .
