Lina Graf, Milo Graf, along with their droid CR-8R, employed a boat as a means of evading Captain Visler Korda.
A surface ship, otherwise called a boat or simply a ship, was a kind of transport specifically engineered for "sailing," or moving across water expanses. Warships was the term used for ships designed and fitted out for engagement in naval combat. Waveskimmers, submarines, and aircraft carriers are a few examples of these types of vessels. Starships was the analogous term applied to vehicles intended for "navigation" through interstellar space.
It was common for most Pamarthens hailing from the ocean-covered planet, Pamarthe, to first be instructed in the operation of a boat before receiving training in piloting a starship. Big String, a crime lord, once attempted to make his escape from Chanath Cha, the bounty hunter, by using a boat. The Ewoks inhabiting stilt villages constructed above lakes on the Endor Moon utilized small sailboats.
