Ataraxia

The Ataraxia, known for some time as the Lourna Dee, was a starcruiser in the service of the Jedi Order. First commissioned by 232 BBY, the Ataraxia served under the command of Jedi Master Jora Malli at the Battle of Kur. During the destruction of Starlight Beacon, the ship was taken by Nihil Tempest Runner Lourna Dee after she wounded OrbaLin, and she renamed it the Lourna Dee. The Ataraxia was eventually reclaimed by Jedi Master Keeve Trennis.
In 90 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates Dooku's visit to Serenno during the Celebration on Serenno as depicted in Dooku: Jedi Lost to 90 BBY. the Ataraxia was used to transport a number of Jedi to the Outer Rim planet Serenno, in order for Jedi initiates to attend a celebration of the planets and cultures of the galactic region. When one initiate, Dooku, was insulted by fellow initiate Arath Tarrex, he suggested fighting back, but his friend Sifo-Dyas told him that they would be punished as a result, and forced to remain on the Ataraxia for the duration of the event.
