The Skyfarer was a vessel, specifically a starship, under the ownership of Amilyn Holdo, who was a captain within the rebel forces. This ship's name was derived from skyfaring, a cultural practice of the Gatalentan people, a tradition that Holdo herself engaged in. During the period spanning from 3 ABY to 4 ABY, Holdo utilized the Skyfarer to transport members of the Rebel Alliance to the planet Spira. The purpose of these trips was to provide the rebels with respite from the ongoing Galactic Civil War. While stationed on Spira, the rebels participated in an auction with the goal of acquiring a Nihil strikeship in order to obtain its Path engine. Their objective was to use the Path engine to locate the missing Kezarat Convoy. Once they had successfully secured the Path engine, Holdo proceeded to integrate it into the Skyfarer. Following this, she input a distorted communication originating from the Kezarat into the engine. As the rebels were attempting to evade pursuing TIE fighters, the Path engine initiated, resulting in the rebels being transported to No-Space. Ultimately, the ship met its end when it was destroyed by killdroids belonging to the Nihil at the location known as the Great Hall of the Nihil.
