Goji - DF The Goji - DF , also known as the Turtle Tanker was a utilitarian starship used throughout the galaxy during the Clone Wars , with spacious holds that could be partitioned to allow for simultaneous transport of a variety of cargo . The Turtle Tanker featured all - terrain legs to assist in landing on worlds with minimal or no docking facilities , with the feet containing its engine s . The ship ' s minimal cockpit doubled as an escape pod ; a secondary command module within the main tanker allowed it to be piloted even without the cockpit . Role . Turtle Tankers were pressed into essential if unglamorous duty throughout the galaxy , including transporting bulk supplies to outland colonists or refuse from industrial worlds to distant dumping grounds . History . During the Clone Wars , a Turtle Tanker on Stobar was commandeered by Savage Opress , a Nightbrother seeking to reunite himself with his Sith brother Darth Maul . The Sakiyan owner of the Tanker was exporting cargo from the junk planet Lotho Minor , which reacted with the talisman given to Opress by Mother Talzin . The Nightbrother was convinced that Maul ' s whereabouts were somehow connected to the planet , leading him to compel the owner to return to Lotho Minor in search for his sibling . However , following Opress ' arrival on and minor sweep of the junk planet , the Talisman of Finding became inactive , depriving the Nightbrother of his only lead . In a violent rage , Opress threw the Sakiyan pilot into an airlock and dumped him onto the planet below , leaving Savage to control the Turtle Tanker . Despite this , Opress successfully landed the Turtle Tanker and managed to find his brother . Thereafter , Opress returned with Maul to their homeworld of Dathomir aboard the ship , where Mother Talzin awaited them . Having regained his memories , his legs , and his previous physique after Talzin transformed him with her spells , Maul set out with Savage again to seek vengeance on his old enemy , Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi , who had defeated him during the Battle of Naboo over a decade before . The duo set course for the planet Raydonia , apparently one of the planets supplied by the Turtle Tanker . When the ship landed , Maul and Opress proceeded to take hostages and slaughter several inhabitants of the Raydonian settlement , and Maul used the Turtle Tanker to send a challenge to the Jedi , drawing Kenobi into the fray . When Kenobi arrived , Maul and Opress engaged him , quickly subduing him and bringing him aboard the ship . After helping his brother torture the Jedi Master with a brutal beatdown , Opress returned to the cockpit to take the Tanker into orbit . As the Tanker took off , it was secretly boarded by Opress ' former master and Nightsister , Asajj Ventress , who had the intention of collecting a bounty ( and getting revenge ) on Opress . She managed to get Kenobi back on his feet , resulting in a four - way duel in the cargo hold . Kenobi and Ventress , having teamed up against the brothers , managed to flee the scene in the ship ' s cockpit before Maul and Savage could reach them , leaving the two stranded in the remaining portion of the ship . Fortunately , however , it was equipped with a secondary control panel , allowing Maul and Opress to pilot the Turtle Tanker away from the area . Later on in the conflict , a sales bill in Pons Ora , a settlement located on the planet Abafar , advertised the sale of a Turtle Tanker for 350 , 000 credit s , with the claim that it was a " great place to hide your bounty . " Behind the scenes . The Turtle Tank design was inspired by Dave Filoni ' s pet turtle , Goji .
