Hondo Ohnaka acquired the Acushnet (pictured) and other starships on Farana.

A collector of antiquities on Farana once maintained an arsenal of starships that included six Flarestar-class attack shuttles and a Corona-class armed frigate—one of a limited run that its manufacturer, Haor Chall Engineering Corporation, had sold off to various interested third parties. At some point by 21 BBY, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka accidentally discovered the collector's starships on Farana. The Corona-class frigate piqued Ohnaka's interest, and in order to obtain the ship, the pirate wrought chaos around the planet. Finally, the collector agreed to let Ohnaka just leave Farana with both the frigate—which Ohnaka eventually named the Acushnet—and the Flarestar-class attack shuttles in his possession and promised to not seek retribution against the Weequay. Ohnaka then accepted an additional bribe from the former owner of the vessels before departing the planet. At one point by 9 BBY, the human Mosey Cimmaron and their sister hunted a native creature of Farana, an encounter that Cimmaron later related to the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis on Koboh.
