According to historical accounts, a group of mercantile and shipping organizations purportedly organized a contest with the goal of charting a secure passage to a fabled planet situated in the Outer Rim Territories, which would ultimately be called Batuu.
The competition involved three vessels: a pair of substantial galleon-class ships and a smaller vessel named the Ravenstar. The initial galleon suffered an assault by pirates and was abandoned, adrift. The second galleon nearly reached the planet's vicinity but ended up adrift after pausing to plunder the riches from abandoned ships encountered earlier. Ultimately, the Ravenstar successfully arrived at Batuu, thereby opening the door for further exploration into Wild Space.
