Jabitha The Jabitha was a starship of Sekotan design that was built for and used briefly by Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker . Like all ships produced by the builders of Zonama Sekot , it was a melding of ordinary manufactured components such as engines , a hyperdrive , shields , navigational systems , and other such equipment with an organic body and " mind " that was bonded to those for whom it was crafted . Shortly after the vessel ' s birth , the world that produced it was attacked by forces of the Galactic Republic under Wilhuff Tarkin ; damaged in the battle , " Jabitha " suffered critical damage , dying before the Jedi could make their way back to Coruscant . History . Three years after the Invasion of Naboo , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker traveled to the mysterious living world of Zonama Sekot which was rumored to be home to the fastest ships in the galaxy . These two Jedi knights discovered that not only were the Zonama Sekotan ships incredibly fast but that they were also wonderful and beautiful living craft . The Sekotans presented them with one of these ships , which Anakin named " Jabitha " to honor the Sekotan Magister ' s daughter . The " Jabitha " was unique because it was handcrafted by the master Sekotan shipbuilders . The " Jabitha " ' s life began when its two future masters , Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi , were brought into a large chamber for a special ceremony . This chamber was filled with hundreds of small , semi - sentient spikeballs called " seed - partner s " . These seed partners buried the two Jedi Knights . When Anakin and Obi - Wan arose from their mounds , they were informed that 15 of these seed - partners had " chosen " the Jedi and agreed to become the sentient basis of their new vehicle . Later , the Jedi were placed inside a handcrafted starship frame , as the living ship was built around them . This resulted in a strange combination of their seed - partners with organoform circuits and mechanical components purchased from Republic ship manufacturers . The " Jabitha " was one of the most outstanding Sekotan ships ever created because of the high number of seed - partners involved in her creation . She was 25 meters long with a broad 30 - meter wingspan . The hull consisted of three lobes fused together underneath a green , fairly glowing skin . The " Jabitha ' s " owner - pilots soon found that it was " indeed faster than anything that had ever flown before . " The living ship carried two modified HCE type - 7 " Silver " - class light starship engines as well as an expensive hyperdrive unit . Despite her HCE hyperdrive generator technically being a Class 1 , her unique nature and her connection to the young Anakin Skywalker allowed her to achieve a Class 0 . 4 speed , far beyond her engine ' s technical capabilities . In the interior , the vehicle lived and breathed with a vibrant display of moving red , green and blue lights . The controls were unmarked , but Anakin ' s exceptional piloting skills as they combined with his strong Force abilities and powerful connection to the seed - partners meant that he could communicate with the ship telepathically . The vehicle carried a typical shield generator but no weapons . Shortly after the " Jabitha " ' s birth , Zonama Sekot fell under attack by the forces of Republic Commander Tarkin . The living vessel was critically damaged during the battle , which ended when the living planet revealed its massive hyperdrive system and retreated into hyperspace . Ultimately , the " Jabitha " would quietly die while at the outpost world of Seline . Even without injury , however , the organic ship still would have died , as the " Jabitha " shared the fate of all her sister vessels — destined to perish once the sentient mother - planet had willfully severed its own life - sustaining ties and fled the Gardaji sector for the Unknown Regions of the galaxy .
