Legend

this was the name of Lo Khan's modified Xiytiar-class transport ship. Considering its use as a smuggling ship, it wasn't very fast, and was unarmed for a long time. This was the way Lo Khan liked it, or at least that's what he told his comrades. He later added increased shielding and beefed up the hull strength, although he kept primarily to the best-known shipping lanes to avoid being ambushed. If he ever was ambushed, Lo Khan had installed a unique computer and communications system that allowed him to access his attacker's shipboard computers. The attackers would suddenly find that they can't control their own ship, let alone the Hyperspace Marauder, which put Lo Khan in a great bargaining position. After the emergence of the cloned Emperor Palpatine on Byss and the reappearance of Han Solo on nar Shadda, Lo Khan added a pair of 700 Penetrator laser cannons for defense.
