Dromedar hijacking
Canon Linked from 15 articles
The Dromedar hijacking occurred in 13 BBY, during the Imperial Era, when the freighter Dromedar was raided and captured by the pirate band Culoss, which was led by the insurgent leader Nevil Cygni. The pirates took the crew prisoner and captured the ship's tibanna cargo. When an Imperial boarding party led by Lieutenant Thrawn answered the Dromedar distress call, they were greeted by Cygni, who trapped the Imperials. However, Thrawn turned the tables on his captors by using a buzz droid to cut a hole in the cage and expose parts of the ship to the vacuum of space. Despite his efforts, Cygni and some of his followers managed to escape with the smuggled tibanna canisters.
