Forlorn Hope

"Now, she may look like just a hunk of trash, but she is my hunk of trash. What a fast hunk of trash she is."

- Strove Vangasa The Forlorn Hope, originally known as YV-929 278129BT, was a modified YV-929 armed freighter with a storied history stretching back decades before the Galactic War and return of the Sith Empire. Manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, or CEC, the light freighter was first owned by Czerka Arms and underwent several name changes before being stolen by the smugglers Strove Vangasa and Vedf'aden'sabosen, and the ship eventually ended up as the property of the Marauders under the name Dirge. The Dirge was destroyed after colliding with space debris near Raxus Prime, which killed Vangasa in the process. Eventually, the ship was rebuilt and modified by Vangasa's pupil, Vedf'aden'sabosen during his time as the Marauders' new leader. After Faden's own pupil, Strove Vangasa, whom Faden named after his own mentor, reached adulthood, he gave him the Dirge and it was later renamed the Forlorn Hope, although Strove gave the ship numerous other nicknames.
