Lord's Mistress

OnALegendsArticle

"Yeah...I want something for me, blast it. There is a ship in Tatooine called the Lord's Mistress. She is loaded with Corellian Brandy and I want some. Being out here makes a man want to drink."
―Droz[2]

The Lord's Mistress was a YKL-37R Nova Courier owned by Hap Daniel during the Galactic Civil War.

History

In 1 ABY,[3] the Mistress was traveling through the Tatooine system carrying a load of Corellian brandy when it was attacked. The station master of the Dantooine Space Station had hired a spacer to intercept the ship and steal its cargo for him. The spacer disabled the engines of the Mistress with his weapons, boarded the ship, transferred the brandy onto his ship, and then left the system to return to the Dantooine system.[1]

When Daniel learned of the theft, he tried to take his revenge on the spacer. He managed to track him to the Dantooine system just as the spacer was about to deliver the stolen brandy to the Dantooine Space Station. When the station master realized that Daniel would find out about his involvement in the theft, he ordered the spacer to eliminate him. It came to a dogfight between the spacer and Daniel in his Ixiyen-class fast attack craft that ended when Daniel's ship was shot down.[4]

Behind the scenes

The Lord's Mistress appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5] The Lord's Mistress was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Jump to Lightspeed on October 27, 2004. It was the third target of a mission that is available to players when communicating with the Dantooine Space Station. The first two targets were the Shifty Prince and the Bez'ox Mentzz.[1]

  3. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
