The Scimitar

History
Built by Kuat Drive Yards in 21BBY the ship is an Alpha-Twelve Niner class Medium bulk freighter. It was given the registration number KYMFA12N.373 and sold to an independent dealership for third party sale on Nar Shaddaa in the Corellian district. The dealership sold exclusively to mercenaries, bounty hunters and private navies so it upgraded this class vessel with a ‘Corellian’ refit to add a second turret added to its underside, quick-drop hanger for a Z-95 Headhunter and general defence improvements.

KYMFA12N.373 was renamed The Scimitar and then quickly sold to a bounty hunter called Teem Neo. This led to a second modification by having the fore portion of the cargo bay turned in to a prison cell for transporting live captives. The next few years were spent travelling the galaxy capturing bounties and transporting them under the command of Teem Neo until the ship was attacked. All most all the crew were killed in the attack with the exception of Alec Tannis who managed to jump the ship to safety.

Teem Neo’s will stated that ‘the longest serving surviving crew member would inherit the ship on his passing’, being the only survivor Alec was given the ship by Bespin’s Probate service. Not really wanting the ship Alec was getting ready to sell it but a mechanic called Jyot Tyrell made a made a deal that if he could improve the ship’s engines he would keep it and hire him. Jyot did his part leaving Alec little choice but to employ the mechanic, considering it’s modifications left little use for it other than as a bounty hunter’s craft.
