Tecora The Tecora was a reddish - colored Zygerrian slave ship that belonged to Darts D ' Nar during the Clone Wars . D ' Nar used the ship for transporting slaves and goods to Zygerria , until its capture by Republic forces during the Battle of Kiros . Under Republic custody , it served as Jedi General s Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and their team ' s means to infiltrate to Zygerria to find enslaved Togruta colonists from the planet Kiros . Description . As a Zygerrian slave ship , the " Tecora " was a highly durable freighter with primitive yet powerful thruster engine s located on its articulated boom arms that extended from the ship ' s primary hull . A blocky transport which had its spacious storage bay outfitted for live cargo , the " Tecora " sported a large cargo hold in which creatures the size of a blixus could be transported , and could be competently operated by a single pilot — namely , its owner , Darts D ' Nar . History . During the Clone Wars , the " Tecora " was owned by Zygerrian slaver Darts D ' Nar . A servant of Queen Miraj Scintel , D ' Nar used the " Tecora " to transport slaves to be sold at the Royal Slave Auction so that the Zygerrian Slave Empire saw its resurgence . Through its alliance with the Confederacy of Independent Systems , D ' Nar was sent to the neutral planet of Kiros to round up all 50 , 000 of its Togruta citizens . On the " Tecora " , he landed alongside a contigent of the Separatist Droid Army and abducted the inhabitants of the artisan colony and had them transported to Zygerria , while he and his ship remained to await for Republic forces to arrive . After ten rotations , Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi of Grand Army of the Republic tried to negotiate a surrender from D ' Nar , but with no success . During the Battle of Kiros , D ' Nar attempted to flee on the " Tecora " . He boarded the ship and blasted off the governor ' s tower landing platforn , but was stopped when Anakin Skywalker disabled one of the ship ' s thrusters with his lightsaber . As Skywalker fended off a blixus on the cargo hold , Ahsoka Tano engaged in a brief duel with D ' nar , who was quickly defeated . As D ' Nar was arrested , the " Tecora " was taken into Republic custody . After learning the whole Togruta population was nowhere to be found on the planet , Skywalker , Kenobi , Tano , Clone Captain Rex and the astromech droid R2 - D2 infiltrated Zygerria by using the " Tecora " . Skywalker , Kenobi and Rex went undercover as Zygerrian slavers to find the missing colonists ; while Skywalker dealt with Queen Scintel and offered Tano ( posing as a slave ) as a gift , Kenobi and Rex went to find the colonists . When they were exposed and captured , only R2 - D2 remained free to contact Skywalker and help free Tano . Skywalker then told the astromech and his Padawan to ready the ship while he recovered his lightsaber ( in Scintel ' s possession ) . Tano and R2 - D2 piloted the freighter until Skywalker gave her the signal to Tano to be ready with the getaway . Skywalker landed on the waiting ramp of the " Tecora " and boarded it with a dying Scintel . In a last show of gratitude , she revealed Kenobi , Rex and Togruta ' s location in the Kadavo system , prompting the Jedi pair to fly the " Tecora " to Kadavo . On the way there , they contacted Republic reinforcements , led by General Plo Koon in the upcoming battle . The " Tecora " arrived first to the Kadavo slave processing facility , where Skywalker , Tano , and R2 - D2 got off the ship , shortly before the heavy turbolaser s defending the facility destroyed the " Tecora " , seemingly stranding the Jedi . Behing the scenes . The " Tecora " has its name written on its hull in Aurebesh type , as well as the words " DELTA S - 9 " on the trailing edge of its wings . This Zygerrian ship shares its name with a Portuguese slave ship from the early 1800s .
