Legend

this was the name of Guther Bartyn's GBX-005 personal yacht. It was named for one of his best-known ancestors, Tria Bartyn, and was lovingly maintained and upgraded. The Tria Blue could attain a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour over the water, and was armed with a pair of dual turbolaser cannons and a pair of proton hydrotorpedo launchers. The ship's superstructure was beefed up based on Guther's plans, in order to withstand an attack from one of Lamaredd's immense ocean predators. In order to ensure his survival in case of an attack, Guther decided not to trust the eight lifepods that came with the GBX-005. Instead, he adapted the hull of the Tria Blue to accept a BBK escape sub, which could be detached from the bow and operated independently. Shortly after the Battle of Naboo, a group of Menahuun spies managed to enter the Tria Blue, despite the formidable guards positioned around the ship by Bartyn. They were apprehended by several freelancers who were working for Mix Liddell, but not until the Menahuun ahd sabotaged the ship and placed explosives throughout the engine compartment. In a tremendous blast, the Tria Blue was destroyed by the Menahuun explosives.
