The Coral Vanda was a famous, high-end submersible cruiser that navigated the oceans of the planet Pantolomin.
The Coral Vanda, a local creation of the Pantolomin Shipwrights collective, stood as one of the most opulent mobile hotels in the galaxy, rivaling the enormous spaceliners of the Core Worlds. It provided sightseeing excursions that lasted either three or five standard days, offering breathtaking views. Nevertheless, the primary reason most individuals traveled on the Coral Vanda was to partake in gambling activities within its eight lavish casinos, each distinguished by its own theme, identity, and unique game. Among other attractions, the vessel housed the Tralla Room and the Saffkin Room.
During 9 ABY, Generals Han Solo and Lando Calrissian paid a visit to the Coral Vanda while seeking data concerning the legendary Katana fleet. However, due to a double-crossing source, Solo and Calrissian nearly suffered capture at the hands of Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces. Subsequently, Thrawn successfully obtained information about the Katana fleet by apprehending Captain Hoffner, a passenger who happened to be on board the Coral Vanda.
