Legend

a Baudo-class star yacht owned by Mirax Terrik, named for a deep-sea creature on Corellia which it resembled. The starship once belonged to her father, and was modified by Wedge Antilles who, at the age of fifteen, replaced its fusion chamber on the starboard engine. When Wedge took the new Rogue Squadron to the Chorax System, it found the Pulsar Skate being detained by the Imperial Interdictor-class ship Black Asp. The Rogues managed to scare off the Black Asp, and the Pulsar Skate assisted in the rescue of Corran Horn's X-Wing. Mirax's father used the shhip to smuggle spice, which attracted the attention on Hal Horn, who hunted down the elder Terrik and captured him. Horn sent Terrik to the correctional facility on Kessel. Mirax held no small amount of contempt for Corran Horn, despite Wedge's allegiance to Rogue Squadron, but she held her tongue. Mirax agreed to assist the New Republic during the Krytos crisis, ostensibly acting as the lead ship in the convoy that was to bring bacta from Thyferra to Coruscant, via the Alderaan System. The convoy was attacked by the Warlord Zsinj, after he was tipped off as to the convoy's flight plan, before Rogue Squadron could arrive to escort it to Coruscant. It was believed that Mirax, her pilot Liat Tsayv, and the Pulsar Skate were destroyed in the ambush, but they had left the convoy and gone to Borleias with a sample of the bacta.
