The R-41 Starchaser was the personal vessel of crime lieutenant Abron Mar. He employed this ship for transit between Takara's stronghold and the world of Katraasii. During a pursuit by Mara Jade, Mar intended to utilize his R-41 Starchaser to flee from the Katraasii Spaceport; however, Jade had locked down the hangar where his ship was located. Consequently, Mar opted to set an ambush for Jade rather than attempting to escape.
