The Ithorian named Jho was the operator of an old freight hauler. Some years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Jho employed this vessel to rescue the Spanjaf and Leonis families from Lothal, spiriting them away before Imperial forces could find them. Jho characterized the hauler's hyperdrive motivator as being "iffy," but sufficient for shorter journeys. Furthermore, it was armed with weapons strong enough to obliterate Imperial speeder bikes.
