Dryden's desk was a desk owned by the crime lord Dryden Vos that was located in Dryden's study on the yacht First Light during the Imperial Era. The desk was built with an obsidian base after Dryden plundered it from a Sith temple. The stone was carved with the warding spells,[1] as well as an inscription reading "Our temple honouring Sith Lord Exar Kun."[1][4]

Behind the scenes

"The central desk, which represents the administrative seat of his power, is a bespoke piece of furniture. The stone base, that Dryden has plundered from the Sith temple of Exar Kun, is made from polished obsidian and decorated with carved hieroglyphs representing spells that protected its former home."
Lee Sandales[5]

Dryden's desk first appeared in the 2018 Star Wars Anthology film Solo: A Star Wars Story.[3] It also was first identified in the accompanying reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] The stone base's inscription was translated by the Twitter user AurekFonts.[6]
