Description: A high speed courier that was used by the Sith known as Darth Scorpius until 844 ABY, when it was used instead by Scorpius' personal valet and assassin, Boo Chiyo. As an agent of the Bleeding Sun, Chiyo used the ship to navigate the galaxy for a variety of purposes; ranging from speeder bike races to assassination missions for the Sith or Primeval. Because Chiyo often traversed space belonging to rival factions, the ship used a false transponder to alter its electronic signature, making it appear to sensors to be a vessel registered out of the Galactic Republic.
