The Marauder was a starship employed by Weequay pirates throughout the Clone Wars. More than twelve months into the conflict, the Republic's droids, specifically R2-D2 and C-3PO, were seized and transported aboard the vessel. They were intended to be observed in a gladiatorial arena, serving as entertainment for the pirates. Nevertheless, the Separatist commander Grievous appeared and commanded his battle droids to utilize the ship for target practice. The ship sustained damage from blaster fire, causing the droids, along with the majority, if not all, of the pirates, to be ejected into the vacuum of space. The remaining individuals perished in a substantial explosion that transpired shortly thereafter. Subsequently, a portion of the droids were apprehended and destroyed by the Separatists through incineration.
