Vermin-Thrax

The Vermin-Thrax was a modified HCT-2001 Dragonboat-class Reugeot 905 bulk freighter owned by the Trandoshan hunter Garnac. The hunter and his guild had altered the freighter to be a slave vessel, which they used to obtain captives and transport them to Wasskah, moon of Trandosha, to be released and hunted down as prey by the Trandoshans. The Vermin-Thrax was equipped with a chin turret set under the cockpit and powerful floodlights, while its hold was converted into prison cells. The front of the vessel featured imagery of the teeth of a demon from Trandoshan folklore in order to strike fear into Garnac's victims.

During the Clone Wars, Garnac's guild captured the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, transporting her and several other prisoners aboard the Vermin-Thrax to Wasskah. On the moon, Tano encountered Jedi younglings Jinx, Kalifa, and O-Mer, and the four eventually resolved to fight back against the Trandoshans. Though Kalifa was killed, the Jedi managed to ambush the Vermin-Thrax on its next stop on Wasskah. In a fight between Tano and one of the pilots, stray blaster bolts damaged the vessel's controls, and the Vermin-Thrax broke apart, crashing onto the moon. The Jedi were accompanied by the freighter's only captive, the Wookiee Chewbacca, while Garnac and his hunters discovered the Vermin-Thrax wreckage the next day.
