Legend

this was the name of Jabba the Hutt's personal, luxury sail barge. Like most sail barges, it was driven mainly by repulsorlist thrusters, but could be moved about by the wind is needed. A Ubrikkian sail barge, the Khetanna was a combination of opulence and minimalism, and was originally designed by Derren Flet. Jabba wanted the ship's systems to cater to his every whim, but didn't want to spent a large amount of credits on accommodations. Jabba spent most of his credits outfitting the pleasure craft with weapons, including a variety of hidden blasters and a heavy deck gun. It was always accompanied by a pair of skiffs, carrying guards and secondary weapons. The Khetanna served Jabba for many years, until the crimelord's death at the hands of Leia Organa. As she escaped with Luke Skywalker, they fired the barge's cannons into its decks, setting off a series of explosions that tore through the fuel cells, eliminating the Khetanna in a massive blast.
