The Marauder, formerly a frigate utilized by the notorious Q'anah's Marauders, met a turning point with Q'anah's demise inflicted by Wilhuff Tarkin during the hands. Subsequently, the vessel fell into the ownership of the Culoss, commanded by Angel, who renamed it Elegin's Hope. Under this new banner, it engaged in illicit activities, including the infamous Dromedar hijacking, where the pirates were outmaneuvered by the strategic genius of Thrawn.
