Darkmoon
The Darkmoon functioned as a mercenary vessel, associated with the Sith.
In the year 3957 BBY, a Sith of considerable ambition engaged the services of the Darkmoon and its personnel. Their task was to delve into a concealed research complex, rumored to be the source of sophisticated battle droids. The Sith in question sought to reveal the facility's secrets as a means of gaining favor with Darth Malak.
Despite the intention for secrecy, Republic forces detected the Darkmoon, inflicting substantial damage and subsequently boarding it. A conflict erupted on the ship's deck, pitting a Jedi-commanded Republic team against the Sith crew, both vying for control.
Behind the scenes
This particular ship is central to a Star Wars Miniatures game scenario. The ultimate destiny of the Darkmoon hinges on the result of player combat. Either the Republic boarding party or the Sith crew could emerge victorious and reclaim command of the vessel. Contingent upon the victor, either Malak or Bastila Shan will arrive to engage the ship's crew in battle.
