In 5000 BBY , Sadow tasked the " Omen " , captained by Yaru Korsin , to mine Lignan ore for use in the upcoming Sith invasion of the Galactic Republic . However , the " Omen " and its sister ship , the " Harbinger " , were attacked by Jedi . As the " Omen " fled into hyperspace , it was knocked off - course , causing it to crash - land on the remote world Kesh . There , the surviving Sith crew remained stranded for thousands of years . With the help of the native Keshiri , the Sith built a temple over the " Omen " crash site . In 41 ABY , however , the Sith Meditation Sphere Ship arrived on Kesh and took the Sith off - world , assisting them in ambushing starships in order to scavenge parts to rebuild the " Omen " . They were soon successful , and the " Omen " became one of the first vessels in the Tribe ' s fleet . Description . The " Omen " was a Sith dreadnaught , a type of starship resembling a lanvarok in appearance . The dreadnaught was on at least one occasion used to carry the resources required for ore mining , although it was also classified as a warship . The vessel could carry an assortment of " Blade " - class starfighters . Also , as a Sith dreadnaught , the vessel was powerful — even by 41 ABY , when the vessels were thousands of years out of date , Sith dreadnaughts were seen as serious threats with ample firepower . History . The " Omen " was a Sith dreadnaught in use by the Old Sith Empire during the time leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . In 5000 BBY , the Sith Lord Naga Sadow tasked the " Omen " , under the command of Captain Yaru Korsin , and another dreadnaught , the " Harbinger " , to mine Lignan ore for use in the upcoming invasion of the Galactic Republic . The two Sith vessels found Lignan in the largest moon of Phaegon III , but they were ambushed by a Jedi starfighter . Despite deploying their starfighters , the Jedi Infiltrator rammed the " Harbinger " , causing it to crash into the " Omen " right as the " Omen " jumped to hyperspace to flee . The collision knocked " Omen " jump off course , causing it to crash - land on the remote Wild Space planet of Kesh . Soon after , a duel took place on the crash - site of the " Omen " between Yaru Korsin and his half - brother , Devore Korsin , when Devore tried to claim command of the Sith over Yaru . Yaru defeated Devore and retained control over the surviving Sith . Eventually , with help from the planet ' s native sentient species , the Keshiri — who believed the newcomers to be their gods , the Skyborn — they built a new temple over the ship ' s remains in the Takara Mountains . The Sith then began to mine the world in search of materials with which to rebuild the warship ; however , such materials were never found , and the Sith remained stranded on the planet for over 5 , 000 years . The members of the Sith Tribe eventually began to call the vessel the " Ship of Destiny . " In 41 ABY , the Sith Meditation Sphere known as Ship arrived on Kesh and made contact with the Tribe . It took several of the Sith on missions to attack starships passing nearby , to raid them for parts to rebuild the " Omen " . Once it was repaired , the " Omen " became one of the first ships in the Tribe ' s new Sith armada . Behind the scenes .
