Arkanian Dawn

The Arkanian Dawn was a freighter owned by the enslaver Krastic Tarta during the Imperial Era. By 10 BBY, Tarta had the vessel respond to a distress call from a privateer's starship that had crashed landed on an unnamed planet. Although Tarta found the crashed vessel to be completely abandoned, the slaver discovered a native sentient species he named the Purple Ones. The slaver then wrote about these events in the book known as the Smuggler's Guide, which he had discovered on board a second crashed ship and decided to keep safe on the Arkanian Dawn.

After capturing seven villages of the natives, Tarta left the planet on the Arkanian Dawn with the ship's holds entirely full of slaves which he intended to sell at the slave markets of the planet Chalcedon. However, upon landing on Chalcedon, his slaves revolted against him, killing Tarta and seizing the Arkanian Dawn.
