Alura (ship)

"You know, they say a ship reflects it's pilot." "Are you saying I'm dull." "No. You are."

- Zan and Karina talking after he freed her from slavers.

The Alura was a YT-1210 Corellian freighter given to Tesh Vohore as a wedding gift in 65 BBY. He named it was originally named the Kril’myan, which meant "Personal Business" in Arkanian, but was changed to Alura after the birth of Tesh’s first child, Alura. Tesh had hoped that he would hand it down to her, but she never took to it. Instead, Tesh’s son Zan preferred to fly the freighter, often piloting or co-piloting for his father. Zan was always thrilled to be in the ship, tinkering. Most of the modifications done to the ship were Zan’s doing. But, because of Tesh’s occupation, he had to take the ship with him on "business" trips.

When Tesh passed away, he gave the vessel to Zan, who continued to modify it, making it faster, stronger and sleeker then before. He even renamed the Alura to Kril’durin, which meant "No one’s business". He added dorsal and ventral quad lasers. He added additional compartments, and removed all but one smuggling compartment. He redesigned the interior of the Kril’durin, creating it to his liking, but no one else’s. When he met up with Karina Vor’ax, she was not too pleased with bland design, where Zan loved the simplicity.

The Alura faded into the Kril’durin, which eventually faded away after Zan settled down in the Outer Rim. He never retired it, but kept it in his storage garage, while his new ship replaced it. Zan didn’t let it rust away, though. He kept it in prime condition, as a memory of his father and their adventures together. It was the ship he first learned how to fly and the ship he last let go of when he passed away. No one inherited it, but instead it was to remain in the storage garage until it rusted away. Eventually, it did.
