The Ghost Ship of Veragi was the name eventually given to a starship[1] that shared it with the Veragi system, a part of the Outer Rim Territories' Veragi sector situated on the hyperlane known as the Veragi Trade Route.[2] The ship was equipped with a prototype cloaking device that at one point malfunctioned, causing the vessel to periodically become invisible. That fact led to the rise of a legend about the craft that claimed it was a ghost ship, with reports claiming sightings along Outer Rim hyperspace routes for decades prior to[1] approximately 3643 BBY.[3]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

Around that year, an individual affiliated with one of the sides in the ongoing struggle between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire sent a companion to investigate the Ghost Ship of Veragi. The companion boarded the vessel, encountering no ghosts in the process, and discovered the cloaking device.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Ghost Ship of Veragi was mentioned in an Investigation Crew Skill mission of Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by BioWare, though the information regarding the mission's outcome was later removed from the game.[1]

Since players of The Old Republic can assign their companions on the mission "Specter in Space" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY.
