Coronet/Legends

The Coronet was a luxurious spaceliner constructed by Kalevala Spaceworks as a testament to Mandalorian engineering. Used as the personal starship of Duchess Satine of the New Mandalorians, the Coronet was the only ship of its kind, designed and furnished with the finest materials Mandalorian space had to offer. Over two hundred meters in height, the Coronet was divided between stately cabins and elegant halls at its top, and utilitarian crew quarters and cargo holds in its long ventral spine. Despite the New Mandalorians' dedication to peace, the Coronet was equipped with both laser and ion cannons for defense.
By the time of the Clone Wars, the Coronet saw significant use transporting Republic tourists to the planet Mandalore, and officials in the New Mandalorian government as well as Mandalorian entrepreneurs took advantage of the starliner's journeys between Mandalorian space and the Core Worlds to import and export cargo. Around 21 BBY, Duchess Kryze utilized the Coronet on a trip to the Republic capital world of Coruscant, to speak before the Galactic Senate. During this journey, however, the Coronet was attacked by Separatist battle droids aligned with the Mandalorian Death Watch splinter group, in an attempt to capture or kill Kryze. Fortunately for the New Mandalorian leader, Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker—along with a detachment of Republic clone troopers—were aboard, and managed to neutralize the droid attackers, saving Kryze and the Coronet, which safely landed on Coruscant.
