Lady Luck The Lady Luck — a SoroSuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 — was the personal starship of gambler and Rebel Alliance / New Republic hero Lando Calrissian . The ship was named after Ymile , the girlfriend of Dominic Raynor , who secretly helped Lando win Cloud City from Raynor , and whom Lando nicknamed his " Lady Luck " for her assistance . History . Lando owned numerous starships throughout his long career , but the " Lady Luck " has been the one that remained in his possession the longest . Calrissian obtained " Lady Luck " from an Orthellin royal mistress after the Battle of Endor . Lando lost the " Lady Luck " on Kessel in 11 ABY , after being forced to leave it there . He feared that it would be disassembled by the pirate forces there , but when the Smugglers ' Alliance came to Kessel to begin a spice mining operation , they found the " Luck " unharmed where Lando had left it . Mara Jade personally presented it to him when he returned to Kessel . In 12 ABY when Lando was captured by the Rodian gangster Reelo Baruk , the ship was impounded in a Nar Shaddaa hangar bay , guarded by many of Baruk ' s thugs . With the help of Kyle Katarn , Lando escaped from Reelo Baruk ' s hideout , and the two prepared to escape the planet , but not before Baruk made one last ditch effort to stop the two New Republic heroes . Utilizing an E - Web heavy repeating blaster cannon and a handful of thugs , Baruk attempted to damage the vessel beyond repair , though fortunately for the luxury starship , Kyle Katarn held off the attackers using one of " Lady Luck " ' s cannons . The " Lady Luck " escaped Baruk ' s compound on Nar Shaddaa and headed to Cloud City on Bespin . During the Black Fleet Crisis , Lando went with Colonel Pakkpekkat to investigate the Teljkon Vagabond . He and his crew attached " Lady Luck " to the Vagabond ' s hull after managing to get past its defenses . The group managed to uncover the secrets of the Vagabond . In 17 ABY , Lando flew it to the Skip 1 on the Smuggler ' s Run , in search of Han Solo . However , after he was captured by Nandreeson , the smugglers there presumed him to be dead and gutted the interior of the ship , taking whatever they could get . After Lando was rescued by Han , he returned to Skip 1 and salvaged what he could of the " Lady Luck " ' s former contents . Shortly after , he used it to transport injured smugglers to Wrea , when Kueller detonated a series of bombs that devastated the run . Lando continued to use the " Luck " during the Yuuzhan Vong War and flew it during the Battle of Ebaq . . During the climactic Battle of Yuuzhan ' tar , the advanced sensor systems of the " Lady Luck " proved invaluable , allowing Lando and his wife Tendra Risant to relay important information to Galactic Alliance forces . Modifications . At the time , Lando ' s involvement with the mining operation known as Nomad City kept him from tinkering with the starship , but in the years since he repeatedly modified and upgraded " Lady Luck " . Lando initially planned to transform the " Lady Luck " into an advanced luxury cruiser . However , Calrissian ' s near - constant involvement with the New Republic forced him to convert the " Lady Luck " into a competent combat vehicle . At first glance , the fifty - meter long starship appeared to be an unarmed pleasure yacht , but this placid exterior conceals five retractable laser cannons and a small ion cannon turret . A pair of powerful Chempat - 6 deflector shield generators provided moderate protection from enemy fire . " Lady Luck " ' s engines were housed in two long engine pods connected to the main hull . Although the starship ' s sublight and hyperdrive speeds could not match those of the " Millennium Falcon " , the " Lady Luck " could still outrace nearly any other luxury vehicle in the galaxy . The " Lady Luck " ' s secondary systems truly set it apart . It had a highly - sophisticated sensor system allowing Lando to detect , identify , and scan approaching vessels at great range . When " Lady Luck " was scanned by customs officials or enemy forces , the ship ' s transponder could be programmed with up to three separate false identities that include aliases , fake cargo manifests , and modified system specs . Lando frequently changed these identities , although he has used the alias " Stardream " on more than one occasion . A droid brain aboard the starship could pilot it in emergencies and direct it towards a beckon call that Lando always kept on his belt ; this feature proved especially helpful when Lando , Luke Skywalker , and Han Solo were forced to flee the mining city of Ilic . The starship also had concealed smuggler compartments . Although the " Lady Luck " was well - suited to combat , it was still a lavish luxury starship . An entire observation level included an exterior deck and numerous viewports . Lando ' s private suite and the five visitor cabins were decorated with rare art from around the galaxy . Conform - couches could be found throughout the starship , and the main deck contained a jet - stream meditation pool , and a small crystal garden .
