On today's Star Wars legends lore video we look at 5 mysterious ships
Hey guys, this is Eckhart's Ladder hello and welcome to another Star Wars legends lore video today
We are talking about the strange and the weird of Star Wars legends, which you guys know is my favorite
Let's jump right into it and look at five strange mysterious or otherwise
Unexplained ships first is the Teljkon Vagabond a ship which appears in the dark fleet trilogy
the vagabond was a mysterious ship that had long been spotted throughout the galaxy most saw it as a
Legend and really only smugglers and pirates gave much thought to it
however
In 16 ABY the New Republic confirmed sightings of the ship and sent a research team including Lando Calrissian
to inspect the vessel the Vagabond was
Exceptionally hard to track and even more difficult to actually study when approached the Vagabond
Broadcasted a screeching sound across all available comm channels before fleeing through
Lightspeed if attacked it had very powerful weapons which could easily destroy even a moderately sized Cruiser
Lando's team realized that the screeching was actually a code
It represented the genetic makeup of a long-dead alien species having c-3po finished the code
They were able to access the ship. The Vagabond itself was physically interesting
It had incredible self-repair abilities and was discovered to be totally organic
It also seemingly
Adapted to its new human passengers and the Vagabond was actually a sort of ark for the Qella the same long dead
Alien species that I mentioned just a second ago, although there were no living Qella anymore
the Vagabond contained genetic
material its purpose was to return to its home planet which had suffered a terrible ice age by 16 ABY the
Planet had not yet melted and was not suitable for habitation
However the vagabonds weapons were able to reheat the surface with the guidance of Luke Skywalker
The Teljkon Vagabond returned to broth Kella and was never seen again next up
We have the outbound flight project my favourite ship on this list by far the outbound flight was a republic era project
Pushed heavily by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth which sought to leave the Star Wars galaxy and find new dominions
there's a lot that was really interesting about this project from the involvement of Palpatine and Thrawn the
destruction of the outbound flight before it left the galaxy and the fact that Jorus C'baoth was clearly turning to the dark side and obviously
Intended to establish his own Jedi Order, at the request of Palpatine
The outbound flight was destroyed by throng who at the time was an officer in the chest Defense Force
Palpatine cited the threats of the Yuuzhan Vong
Or "The Far Outsiders" as they were called at the time
Although most on the outbound flight did perish a few dozen survivors set up a colony on the planet where the ship crashed
in 22 ABY
They would be rediscovered by the empire of the hand still the fate of the outbound flight was a mystery to most in the galaxy
Especially considering its extra galactic purpose. Next up is the Lusankya a ship
That was mysterious because for much of its life
no one really knew what it was in the early days of the post Endor New Republic
an imperial prison known as the Lusankhya
was infamous for abducting and brainwashing soldiers turning them into moles
director is Ysanne Isard
Isard boasted about the prisons capability saying that she could break
Anyone given enough time and that her track record was excellent,
those in the Lusankya, such as rebel hero Jan Dodonna, suffered years of torture hard labor and imprisonment
the true nature of the prison was revealed by Corran Horn, who after the liberation of Coruscant
was captured by Isard, although prisoners on the Lusankya
believed that they were on some mining world performing hard labor, in reality
They were actually on an executor Super Star Destroyer, the Lulsankya herself
Not only that but the Lusankya was buried under the surface of Coruscant, in one of the most famous Star Wars legends moments ever
upon Corran Horns escape, the Lusankya broke through the surface of Coruscant, blasted the planetary shield, and jumped away to hyperspace
eventually The New Republic would seize control of the super stardestroyer
And she would serve the faction greatly until the Yuuzhan Vong War
Fourth is the mysterious ship spotted by Canderous Ordo thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin
In Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic 1, we learn the following, Canderous was at the edge of the known galaxy, the Mandalorians were hunting down
smugglers and pirates in an asteroid field of the crispin system
He talks about destroying asteroids so that the debris will kill his enemies
However, one asteroid was not so easily destroyed and on the inside was a strange structure
He describes it as a rocky growth, this thing started spinning in throwing fiery
projectiles at all ships in the vicinity
It melted the Man dalorian armor
Like wax then jumps and the hyperspace trail that at left showed that it was heading outside the galaxy
I don't think that it's ever been confirmed but it seems pretty obvious that this was a Yuuzhan Vong ship
Obviously the Yuuzhan Vong came from outside of the galaxy and they likely had Scout ships
Thousands of years before the main fleet arrived the weapon also matches almost perfectly
The Yaret-Kor, a capital ship grade weapon of the Vong which is sometimes called a lava cannon in the Vong had Yorik-stronha
Asteroid shaped ships that they used as scouts, but still this was like nothing even Canderous Ordo had ever seen before
And obviously a very mysterious ship for the Mandalorians. Finally. We have another asteroid shaped vessel
Although this one is much much larger, I'm talking about the eye of Palpatine
The Eye of Palpatine as it appears in "Children of the Jedi" was one of the most powerful
weapons of the empire referred to not as a dreadnought but a battle moon the Eye was kept secret even by
Imperial standards and Palpatine treated it as a sort of contingency plan. Should he need arrest control of the galaxy
It was created to look like an asteroid so it could hide in plain sight and fulfill
the Emperor's wishes in 12 ABY the eye of Palpatine was
Activated and started travelling across the galaxy to worlds where there had formerly been a stormtrooper posting the Eye descended to the planet's surface
Picked up what it thought were stormtroopers
But were really native species like gomorian or Jawas and to begun
Indoctrination and training it had very powerful weapons and was seemingly meant to reconquer
any portions of the galaxy which may have fallen under the control of another faction, thankfully after its reactivation
it was destroyed before it could do any damage but having a gigantic dreadnought shaped
asteroid picking up troops on random planets and planning a conquering of the galaxy is quite strange and very mysterious
but those are just my five ships. Let me know what you think down in the comment section
I specifically left out the ship from the Marvel Star Wars legends comics from another galaxy
Because I covered it last week if you'd like to watch that click the annotation in the upper right-hand corner
Thanks for tuning in guys. As always. This has been Eckhart's Ladder. May the force be with you
