The Black Wave represented a frigate of the ChaseMaster type, manufactured by the Corporate Sector Authority. High Lord Sarasu Taalon was in command of this vessel, which formed a component of the Sith armada belonging to the Lost Tribe of Sith. The Black Wave was one of the ChaseMasters dispatched to Dathomir during 43 ABY, with the mission of engaging Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker. The aim was to persuade Skywalker to join the Sith in an alliance directed at the elimination of Abeloth. Following Sarasu Taalon's death during the battle that occurred on Pydyr, control of the Black Wave shifted to Sith Saber Gavar Khai. In 44 ABY, Khai, in command of the Black Wave, provided support to Abeloth during her attack on Tahv, the capital city of the Sith.
