Cay ' s Dream A ship , prior to being renamed Cay ' s Dream , served as the personal vessel of Sith Lord and former Jedi Knight Ulic Qel - Droma during the Great Sith War . Qel - Droma began to use the ship after he fell to the dark side and became the apprentice of Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun in 3996 BBY . Together , Qel - Droma and Kun waged a war against the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order . That year , after a supernova threatened to destroy the Great Jedi Library on Ossus , Qel - Droma and Kun traveled to the planet to steal as many Jedi artifact s as possible . When Qel - Droma arrived in his ship , he was greeted by his brother , Cay , a Jedi assisting in the planet ' s evacuation . When Cay , wanting an opportunity to talk things out with his brother , tried to shoot Ulic down , a dogfight ensued . Ulic instead shot down his brother , landed his ship , and then killed Cay in a lightsaber duel . As a result , Ulic , horrified at what he had done , was stripped of his connection to the Force by Nomi Sunrider . Qel - Droma offered to bring the Jedi to Kun on the moon Yavin 4 , and he subsequently guided a massive Jedi fleet to Yavin 4 in his ship . After a turn of events in which Kun used Sith magic to shed his body and a fire engulfed the Yavin 4 forests , the Jedi assault force departed . Qel - Droma continued to use the ship after the war , giving it the name " Cay ' s Dream " after his dead brother . In 3994 BBY , he returned to Yavin 4 in " Cay ' s Dream " to discover what exactly had happened that fateful day , though he found nothing . Description . " Cay ' s Dream " was a blue - colored starship that had a vaguely insectoid hull design . The ship featured two wing - like structures on either side , with the cockpit at the front of the ship and four engines at the back end . The cockpit featured a comlink connected to a wire that came down from the ceiling , although it was not necessary for voice communication with other pilots in sublight flight . " Cay ' s Dream " could withstand several direct laser strikes to its four engines without being forced down , and it was able to maneuver itself well in atmospheric space combat . The ship had three landing pads that emerged from its underbelly when needed and were retracted during flight . " Cay ' s Dream " could be flown by just one individual but could contain as many as seven beings . History . A starship belonged to the Human male Ulic Qel - Droma , a former Jedi Knight who , in 3996 BBY , fell to the dark side and became the apprentice of Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun . Together , they waged a war on the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order . Late in the war , a supernova in the Cron Cluster , caused by the use of Sith magic during a battle at nearby Kemplex IX , created a shockwave that threatened to destroy the Great Library on the Jedi world of Ossus . Recognizing their opportunity to take possession of many valuable Jedi and Sith artifacts , Qel - Droma and Kun planned a raid on the Library . Qel - Droma took off for Ossus in his vessel , with Kun alongside him in his own vessel , the " Starstorm One " . They arrived during a mass - evacuation of Ossus , as the Jedi frantically tried to save whatever they could with just hours to go before the shockwave decimated the planet . Flanked by an assault force of Mandalorian Crusaders , Qel - Droma and Kun descended upon the planet . However , Qel - Droma ' s brother , Cay , a Jedi Knight assisting in the evacuation effort below on the planet ' s surface , sensed his brother ' s presence in the starship and went up to meet him in his own vessel , the " Nebulon Ranger " . Cay pursued his brother through the Ossus skies , as Ulic tried to evade and avoid battling his brother outright . Cay would not be denied and dealt damage to Ulic ' s ship by targeting its engines ; however , Ulic was able to maneuver his craft behind the " Nebulon Ranger " and shot his brother down . Ulic brought his ship down near the " Nebulon Ranger " crash site and found that his brother had survived . The two subsequently dueled with their lightsabers , a clash that ended when Ulic killed Cay . Kun fled Ossus with his ship filled with Jedi artifacts , leaving his apprentice down below on Ossus . Qel - Droma ' s horrified former lover and fellow Jedi , Nomi Sunrider , used a wall of light to strip him of his connection to the Force . Stunned with what he had done , an extremely remorseful Qel - Droma offered to take his former friends to where Kun was hiding , the moon Yavin 4 . Qel - Droma brought the Twi ' lek Tott Doneeta , Nomi Sunrider , Sunrider ' s young daughter , and the corpse of his brother aboard , while the rest of the Jedi were rallied to battle Kun at Yavin 4 . The ship arrived at Yavin 4 backed by hundreds of Jedi vessels , and the assembled Knights created a wall of light around the moon . However , the forest below them suddenly became engulfed by a great fire . Knowing he could not fight the massive Jedi force , Kun had used Sith magic to shed his mortal body and unleash his spirit . The power created by the thousands of sacrifices required for the ritual , combined with the wall of light , created a conflagration that spread across the moon . With nothing left on Yavin 4 and the fire growing , all the Jedi ships , including Qel - Droma ' s , departed . Qel - Droma went on to name the ship " Cay ' s Dream " , after his late brother . Two years later , after a pilgrimage to his brother ' s grave , Qel - Droma returned to Yavin 4 in " Cay ' s Dream " to discover just what had happened on the day of the battle against Exar Kun . However , he found nothing on the scorched moon and departed . Commanders and crew . " Cay ' s Dream " was the personal ship of Ulic Qel - Droma after his fall to the dark side and apprenticeship to the Dark Lord Exar Kun . In fact , it was Qel - Droma who gave the ship its name , after his fallen brother , Cay . After Qel - Droma ' s connection to the Force was severed on Ossus in 3996 BBY , Jedi Knights Nomi Sunrider , Oss Wilum , Thon , and Tott Doneeta also served aboard the ship during the hunt for Kun .
