The Shroud represented a Helix-class light interceptor manufactured by Arakyd Industries. Besides incorporating a GBp-629 hyperdrive, it also featured a number of undisclosed, illicit alterations.
Cornelius Evazan, known as the Doctor, at one time possessed this starship; however, he subsequently sold it to a Meego who specialized in selling used starships. This sale was done to finance the advancement of his reanimation serum. Later, Mammon Hoole acquired the ship, using it to facilitate the departure of himself and his wards, Tash and Zak Arranda, from the planet Necropolis. Since the ship's memory banks hadn't been erased during the sale, the new owners were able to uncover certain details pertaining to Evazan's research. Hoole installed a slave circuit into the Shroud, which enabled him to conceal it during their various exploits and then summon it when required.
Above the planet Kiva, the ship almost met its end when it was struck by an automated defense system. Despite this, Hoole successfully executed a safe landing, and a rescue team from the Alliance later came to their aid.
It's believed that the ship was incinerated within the atmosphere of the planet Koaan after Boba Fett, in an attempt to assassinate Mammon Hoole, launched a wrist rocket into its ion engine.
