Legend

this was the name used by Jaina Solo to describe the Ksstarr, after the Jedi team to Myrkr stole the frigate to escape. She chose the name after conversing with the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, whose patron deity was Yun-Harla, the Trickster. Harrar and Khalee Lah tried to track the ship using the normal procedure of monitoring its gravitic signature, but Lowbacca had managed to alter the Trickster's communication system in such a way as to receive signals from the Yuuzhan Vong but not transmit sensor data back to a yammosk. This allowed Jaina and the Jedi to move about in the Trickster without being tracked a yamoosk or by dovin basal mines. Upon arriving at Hapes, Tenel Ka had planned to go ahead in an escape pod and arrange for the arrival of the Jedi. Her pod was captured by the renegade pirate ship Starspritee, which was eventually captured by the Trickster. The Yuuzhan Vong boarding system involved melting a hole in the Starsprite with an organic acid, leaving the two ships bonded together. The conjoined ships were then escorted to Hapes by Jagged Fel and Shawnkyr Nuruodo. The Trickster spent the trip trying to heal itself, a compromise made for not jettisoning the Starsprite completely. The Trickster literally panicked upon reaching Hapes, and the Jedi had to separate the ships or lose them both. The ship nearly died in the subsequent starfight around Hapes, in which the Hapan Navy and Jaina's squadron defeated the Yuuzhan Vong.
