Legend

this Dobrutz starliner served as a Obroan Institute research vessel. It was dispatched under the command of Joto Eckels, who was in the midst of an exploration of the planet Hoth, when it was suddenly dispatched to Brath Qella. Kroddok Stopa had requested assistance from Eckels, since the Penga Rift was outfitted with many cold-environment exploration tools, where the IX-26 was not. However, Eckels and the Penga Rift were not able to arrive at Brath Qella before Stopa and his assistant, Josala Krenn, were killed in an avalanche on the planet. The Penga Rift was under the command of Captain Dolk Barjas, and measured 126 meters in length. The ship continued to serve the Institute until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. During the Vong assault which left Obroa-skai a devastated orb, the Penga Rift was holed and left for dead.
