Libertine The Libertine , christened by its first owner as the Steadfast , was a Star Yacht that Finn , Rose Tico , BB - 8 and DJ used to escape from Canto Bight . Its previous owner was Korfé Bennux - Ai , a manager of the Sienar - Jaemus corporation who sold weapons to independent worlds during the war between the First Order and the Resistance . Characteristics . The " Libertine " was a custom Star Yacht manufactured by Guild d ' Lanseaux in the Chardaan Orbital Yards a century before 34 ABY , and to signal the wealth of its owner , was crafted by hand by organics . Like all Guild d ' Lanseaux products , the " Libertine " was uniquely designed . It had a chromium detailed streamlined hull with hull plates being interwoven with radiation shielding and had highly reflective hull coating , which contained an abundance of technology . In the bow of the " Libertine " , which had two frontal tips , the sensor spines and the repulsorlift maneuvering vanes , both on the starboard and port of the starship . The bow contained a communications spine on the hull . The sensor spines ran from the front tips of the ship , and ended at the midsection with the atmospheric processor s on both sides . The sensor spines contained power relay conduits , power converter s for forward systems , and 12 stage dynamo power generator s . Inside the repulsorlift maneuvering vanes were the overlocked forward repulsors which allowed for nimble micromaneuvers . Inside the bow was the forward deflector shield projector , the emergency beacon , and the sensor node , with atmospheric intake vents on the exterior . Inside , the " Libertine " featured luxurious amenities , with a high quality holoprojector pedestal at the center of the lounge . The lounge could seat fourteen passengers , and included locked compartments for valuables . The deluxe sleeping cabin was in the bow and was furnished with rare woods , and the midsection featured a deployable staircase for boarding . The midsection also a flight computer hub . On the midsection ' s outside was the turbo injector s and part of the bespoke d ' Lanseaux engine s which continued to the rear of the ship , which deliver top - rated speed for a civilian vessel , as part of the recessed sublight drive . In the rear of the ship was the cockpit which was slightly elevated , which included a navigator ' s station , a comms station , and a captain ' s chair . Below the cockpit was the ship ' s hyperdrive , the rear landing gear , the casing for the magnetic turbine , the hydraulic system , the thrust cupola , the maneuvering thrusters , the power cell s , and the compact fusion reactor . The rear stabilizer at the stern , used for atmospheric flight , contained the aft repulsorlift array and the acceleration compensator . The " Libertine " was also equipped with an anti - theft system and a safe , along with antishock field s , that when working in conjunction with the acceleration compensator , ensured a ride as smooth as a luxury airspeeder or groundcoach . The " Libertine " had no weapons and capable defensive systems , which were reflective of a safer galactic era , and also reflected on the safeguards of wealth and status . History . Early service . The " Libertine " was built in 66 BBY by the Guild d ' Lanseaux in the Chardaan Orbital Yards . The Bureau of Ships and Services listed that the first owner of the vessel was Valis of Kuhlvult , a Kuati diplomat , who had christened the vessel as the " Steadfast " . Eventually , the " Steadfast " was at some time in its service renamed as the " Libertine " and was owned by Korfé Bennux - Ai , an individual born into wealth on Celanon and a top - ranking manager for the Sienar - Jaemus corporation . Bennux - Ai also made a fortune selling starfighter s to wary star system s seeking to bolster their defenses against the First Order . The " Libertine " lounge was used by Bennux - Ai to negotiate and make deals , celebrate completed sales , and , if he had bad luck or failed a sale , drown his sorrows . A new owner . In 34 ABY , Bennux - Ai would become frustrated by a failed negotiation with Zygerrian slaver s , and so he ordered his pilot s to divert the " Libertine " to Cantonica so that he may enjoy the night on Canto Bight . On Canto Bight , the " Libertine " was stolen by DJ , an unprincipled criminal and slicer who had escaped from the Canto Bight police headquarters . DJ was able to steal the " Libertine " by evading guards and uses a computer spike and key bypass to slice through the anti - theft systems , and boarded it with Resistance droid BB - 8 . DJ was able to pilot the " Libertine " to rescue Finn and Rose Tico , members of the Resistance , a private paramilitary force focused on countering the First Order , who were escaping the Canto Bight Mounted Police on a fathier . Finn and Rose had previously encountered DJ when they undertook a mission to Canto Bight in order to locate and recruit the Master Codebreaker , a capable slicer , who was in Canto Bight . Rose and Finn however , were arrested by the Canto Bight Police Department for illegally parking their Resistance transport pod on a beach . Once everyone was on board , DJ wasted no time to plunder the cabinets , locked compartments , and the safe of the " Libertine " , and was able to gain access to its databanks , finding a catalog of starfighters for sale . Escaping form Canto Bight , Rose and Finn were successful in recruiting DJ to help them slice the Shipboard Tracking Control Complex , a device used for hyperspace tracking on board the First Order " Mega " - class Star Dreadnought " Supremacy " , so that the besieged Resistance navy could escape the clutches of the First Order , by payment in form of her medallion . Once the " Libertine " arrived to the attack on the Resistance fleet , it was able to dock with the " Supremacy " , allowing DJ , Finn , Rose , and BB - 8 to board the vessel where they donned First Order officer military uniforms and BB - 8 a canister . They were able to deactivate the Shipboard Tracking Control Complex , yet were captured by Colonel Ansiv Garmuth of the First Order Security Bureau and Captain Phasma when BB - 9E exposed the boarders . Once they were captured , DJ sold the evacuation plan of the Resistance to Crait in exchange for his freedom and a large sum of money . Behind the scenes .
