Hadron Boson

The Hadron Boson was a YV-666 light freighter originally owned and flown by the smuggler Drake Ralion. He dropped a shipment of illegal weapons in 20 ABY when pursued by a New Republic policing ship and scrambled to pull together enough credits to pay for the shipment. He was ultimately unable to do so, and by early 21 ABY a bounty of 20000 credits was placed for his capture.

He evaded the hunters long enough to pay off part of his debt after selling the Hadron Boson to another party, and the bounty was dropped to the totality of his possessions - the hunter who caught him would take possession of everything Drake had at the time, but would receive no additional money. He then won his ship back in a game of sabacc in 21 ABY on Nal Hutta, but was shortly thereafter captured by the young bounty hunter Ingvor Gord, and the ship was then turned over to her. The two of them argued over it and drew their blasters, but they agreed that Ingvor could keep the ship if she returned the small amount of cargo on board, which was then sold to pay the rest of Drake's debt. Drake was a free man, though without a transport, and Ingvor now had a ship.

Ingvor retained possession of the vessel for 22 years. It was next sighted on Yavin IV in 29 ABY, shortly after the Stellar Imperial War, when Ingvor landed and chased Dyar Leeds and Anakin Solo on a speeder bike from the landing area to the Massassi Temple. However, the main event of the day was the wedding of Ingvor's brother Zekk of Ennth to Anakin's sister Jaina Solo, and she did not catch Dyar at that time.

The hyperdrive of the Hadron Boson was replaced twice, in 18 ABY and 40 ABY. The second replacement, though, was of inferior quality, and once more the hyperdrive began to behave erratically. Ingvor planned to buy another one, but she did not have enough money, and Zekk would not loan it to her because Ingvor, though somewhat Force-sensitive, refused to train as a Jedi. In 43 ABY, Ingvor landed the ship in a small bay on Coruscant, knowing that the hyperdrive wouldn't handle another mission, and she planned to earn the credits on Coruscant before flying away. Before she could, though, Allana Djo begged Ingvor to take her Dathomir, and tried to bribe her. When Ingvor declined the offer, citing that Allana's father Jacen Solo would be angry, Allana shot Ingvor with a stun blaster and stole the Hadron Boson.

The hyperdrive stayed operational long enough to get Allana to the Dathomir system, but failed completely as she came back into realspace at the edge of the system. Its atmospheric flight controls were also imprecise, and that, combined with Allana's relative lack of flight experience, resulted in a bad landing that crushed one of the ship's supports. Allana had landed near the edge of a cliff, and although she was able to get out before the ship toppled over, the Hadron Boson did tip over the cliff and crash at the bottom, irreparably damaged.
