A Dinghy, which is also referred to as a space dinghy, represented a diminutive class of starship. Its function was to ferry individuals from spacecraft secured in space. A solitary pilot was sufficient to control dinghies. In 9 ABY, the pirate haven of Borgo Prime made use of several dinghies for the purpose of moving personnel between their vessels and the port itself. In that same year, the crew of the Onyx Cinder employed dinghies to travel to the port, and later, to flee the pirate crew of Captain Brutus.
The initial appearance of dinghies was in "Way, Way Out Past the Barrier," which served as the second episode of the live-action Disney+ show Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and was broadcast on December 2, 2024.
