This banking ship was captained by the Kubaz Banker, Rikard Lovas. It would land at Niima Outpost on Jakku for a few days each cycle to allow the inhabitants to conduct business. It could carry a modestly sized cargo but many transactions were done electronically using credits.[1]
After falling into gambling debts owned to the Irving Boys, Lovas formed a posse of droids and attempted to fake a bank robbery on his own ship. Using the Niima Outpost secretary droid CZ-1G5—whom Lovas had modified the programming of—the Kubaz deleted the records of money stored in his computer core to make it appear as if they had been stolen, when in reality they were simply hidden so that he could transfer them to a personal account. Lovas set up CZ-1G5 to take the fall, but his plan was deciphered by the Office of the Constable and the Kubaz was subsequently arrested for his crime.[1]
Behind the scenes
The banking ship was created for the 2015 short story "High Noon on Jakku," which was written by Landry Q. Walker.[1]
