Nightcast was initially the property of Karu Nelbin, and it was a Stalwart-class freighter.
Callandri, a skilled assassin, murdered Nelbin and subsequently took possession of his ship. She then upgraded the Nightcast by substituting numerous original parts with Imperial military-grade technology. A Jadai Q-6100, her personal ground vehicle, was typically stored within the ship's cargo bay.
The Nightcast was one of three vessels used by Callandri as part of the Granse Confederacy, with the other two being the Mist Laden and the Waterspire.
