Doriella's Mystress

Doriella's Mystress was a bulk freighter owned by the RenTrans shipping company.

Prince Xizor, head of the Black Sun crime syndicate, approached the owners of RenTrans -- the Rendar family -- about making their company a subsidiary of Xizor Transport Systems. When they refused, he arranged for an "accident" that would damage the company and force them to accept his offer.

One week before the ship was expected to launch from docking pad RT209 on Coruscant, Xizor ordered Sprax to order his underling technician and slicers to tamper with its control and drive system, and add detonite charges to its power core.

As the ship, piloted by the owners' son Stanton Rendar, launched from Coruscant, a control system failed. This caused the freighter to crash into Emperor Palpatine's private museum nearby. The resulting explosion destroyed both the freighter and much of the museum, killing Stanton in the process. Palpatine was furious and sought revenge on the grieving Rendar family for the loss of numerous Jedi and Sith artifacts of his private collection. The family's property and wealth was seized, RenTrans was turned over to Xizor Transport Systems, Rendar's parents were banished from the Core Worlds, and his brother Dash was thrown out of the Imperial Academy of Carida.
