The Vermillion, owned by the pilot Taka Jamoreesa, was a cumbersome ZV-9 freighter that had undergone significant alterations. In an attempt to circumvent the New Republic's de-militarization initiatives, it was camouflaged to appear as a standard New Republic transport. To enhance its capabilities, Jamoreesa equipped the vessel with armaments of a military standard. During 7 ABY, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian employed this ship for their journey to Substation Grimdock, which was a New Republic detention facility.
