Meson Martinet

The Meson Martinet was a heavily modified CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttle^[1] captained by Sidon Ithano. At some point after the Battle of Endor, its crew consisted of first mate Quiggold, the Ishi Tib Pendewqell, the Arcona Reeg Brosna, the Twi'lek Reveth and the Gamorrean Squeaky, all of whom called the planet Ponemah Terminal home. On Ponemah, the crew became involved in a race for the lost treasure of the Sith Lord Count Dooku, during which Pendewqell was killed and Brosna was lost in a sandstorm. The treasure turned out to be the cryogenically frozen clone trooper CT-6116, who joined Ithano's crew once they thawed him out.^[3] Not long before the Battle of Exegol, they rendezvoused with the sail barge Galleon of the pirate gang Warbird gang led by the Quarren Captain Kragan Gorr and made a substantial sale of a vintage cache of super battle droids and one B1 battle droid.^[2]
