Legend

this huge ship, built by a team of beings gathered from worlds which had been ecoclogically damaged, roamed the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. Originally conceived of by Kad Chun and the natives of Telos, the BioCruiser and its creators vowed to never land on another world, nor allow another ship to dock with the craft. The BioCruiser was built from various pieces and parts salvaged from other ships, and was laden with a wide variety of plants and minerals that allowed those beings who lived on it to be almost self-sufficient. Fuel and other important materials were obtained at regular stops at prearranged worlds. The ship and its leaders were investigated by the Jedi Knights, two years after the Battle of Naboo, when the Senate feared that individuals were being held on the ship against their will. They also feared that the beings' personal fortunes were being misused, instead of being placed into a communal fund. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent to the ship, and discovered that Vox Chun had been secretly working with the remnants of Offworld Mining corporation to evacuate the ship and steal the treasury, as part of a plan known as Broken Circle. The ship would then be destroyed in the "accident," providing a plausible explanation for the loss of the treasury. However, due to the efforts of the Jedi, Uni, and Rhe Pabs, the BioCruiser held together long enough to reach Tentrix.
