- "At approximately 3900 BBY, Queen Tasia sponsored one of the last of her world's colonization missions. The three ships—Beneficient Tasia, Constant, and Mother Vima—departed Grizmallt and vanished from sight."
- ―A Galactic Alliance historical document
Constant[2] was a colony ship[1] that, along with Mother Vima, served as a support starship for the colony ship Beneficent Tasia.[2] In approximately 3900 BBY,[3] the three ships departed the planet Grizmallt in an expedition to the dangerous southern quadrant of the galaxy.[2] The ships carried refugees fleeing a brutal civil war[4] who sought fortune and glory.[2] The expedition, led by the scout Kwilaan,[5] was sponsored personally by Grizmallt's Queen Elsinoré den Tasia and was blessed by a famous Jedi Master.[2]
After losing contact with Beneficent Tasia, the inhabitants of Grizmallt assumed that the expedition had failed. However,[2] much later, they learned that[3] the damaged ships had landed on the planet Naboo[2] in Wild Space.[3] The Human colonists, including a member of the Korden family,[6] established themselves on Naboo and developed a thriving society[2] after clashing with the planet's native Gungans. Constant was later mentioned in a Galactic Alliance historical document published by the Historical Council in 36 ABY.[3]
Behind the scenes
Constant was first mentioned in the DataBank entry for the Royal Naboo in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, a 2001 LucasArts video game.[2] The StarWars.com episode guide for "Crisis on Naboo," the eighteenth episode of the fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars,[7] which aired on February 10, 2012,[8] stated that a Grizmallt colony ship crashed on Naboo, however, it was not specified which one[7] of the three[2] ships crashed.[7]
