The Vagaari Empire employed Vagaari plunder ships circa 27 BBY as a means of short-term storage and conveyance for various precious items pilfered from vanquished starships and diverse cultures. Enslaved individuals, seized during the Vagaari's incursions, were responsible for the upkeep of these vessels. On one occasion, the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force seized a sizable Vagaari plunder ship; its primary storage space spanned two levels and contained an assortment of coins, gems, spices, artistic creations, and other valuables originating from numerous planets.
