Legend

this custom-built and modified shuttle was designed by Luke Skywalker and given to his wife, Mara Jade, as a gift shortly after they were married. It had a shape like a pointed fish-head, with swept-back wings and flared side pods protecting its ion drives. Mara believed that Luke had the ship constructed to thank her for sacrificing the Jade's Fire on Nirauan. The Jade Sabre measured fifty meters in length, and required a pilot to operate. It could accommodate up to fifteen passengers and 100 metric tons of cargo, and was armed with four quad laser cannons and a tractor beam projector. Mara and Anakin Solo flew the ship to Dantooine, after the initial battle of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, so that Mara could get some rest. Unfortunately for all, the Vong were already on Dantooine, and they destroyed the Jade Sabre before Anakin and Mara could recover it.
