==Characteristics==
[[File:Jabbaship-bp.jpg|thumb|left|180px|''Star Jewel'' [[:Category:Technical drawing images|schematics]].]]

The space cruiser's interior was dominated by Jabba's throne room which featured a giant single piece transparisteel observation dome. It was where Jabba and his entourage resided when onboard. His personal quarters were located at the aft of the throne room and featured two smaller observation domes. The starship also featured a kitchen, an armory, and several guest quarters equipped with hidden spying devices for the Hutt to keep an eye on his guests.

The space cruiser was staffed by a crew of [[Droid/Legends|droids]] and also featured a small landing bay that held two small landing [[Shuttle/Legends|shuttles]] and also stationed the [[Star Jewel Guard]], a complement of six [[Z-95 Headhunter/Legends|Z-95 Headhunter]] fighters that served as escort to the ''Star Jewel''. Jabba the Hutt also kept several [[Kell dragon/Legends|Kell dragons]] onboard his starship and would feed prisoners to them for entertainment. [[Kyle Katarn]] was one of the only victims to survive a battle with a Kell dragon, and upon retrieving his weapons and escaping the dragon den he proceeded to exterminate Jabba's entire complement of the beasts.

Jabba's space cruiser featured 2 rear vanes which served as ailerons for atmospheric flight and 3 retractable rods on each side of the ship which provided a place for the maneuvering jets, allowing the cruiser to reach atmospheric speeds of up to 800 kph. The space cruiser's armament included six illegal hidden [[Corellian Engineering Corporation/Legends|CEC]] [[Turbolaser/Legends|turbolasers]] mounted beneath the superstructure's ridge which were powered by the vessel's reactor core.

It also had a powerful [[tractor beam/Legends|tractor beams]] that could capture even a [[HWK-290 light freighter/Legends|HWK-290 light freighter]].<ref name="Dark" />

==History==
Jabba's space cruiser was a custom [[Ubrikkian Industries/Legends|Ubrikkian]] [[Minstrel-class space yacht/Legends|''Minstrel''-class space yacht]] which the [[Hutt/Legends|Hutt]] used to transport himself offworld. His ship was known for its gaudy appearance and for the shady business dealings that took place within it.

[[Darth Plagueis/Legends|Darth Plagueis]], escaping from an attack on his fortress on [[Sojourn (moon)|Sojourn]] by a coalition of forces allied with King [[Ars Veruna/Legends|Ars Veruna]] of [[Naboo/Legends|Naboo]], was picked up by Jabba and the ''Star Jewel'' in [[33 BBY/Legends|33 BBY]].<ref>[[Darth Plagueis (novel)|''Darth Plagueis'']]</ref>

[[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]], as he was beginning his career as a pilot, once flew the ''Star Jewel''. He once had to fend off a pirate attack on the vessel using his expert piloting skills.<ref>''[[The Hutt Gambit]]''</ref>

Shortly after the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin]], the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] developed the [[Dark Trooper Project]] and Jabba and his [[smuggler/Legends|smugglers]] were helping to deliver the materials that the needed across [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]] and supplying the Imperial ''[[Arc Hammer]]''. Two [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] [[agent/Legends|agents]], [[Kyle Katarn]] and [[Jan Ors]]
[[Mission to Nar Shaddaa (Dark Trooper campaign)|went to]] [[Nar Shaddaa/Legends|Nar Shaddaa]] to steal a [[nava card]] the smugglers were using. , The ''Jewel'' was waiting for them above the [[moon/Legends|moon]] and as they were leaving on their ship, the ''[[Moldy Crow/Legends|Moldy Crow]]'', it was caught by the [[Tractor beam/Legends|tractor beams]] of the ''Jewel''. Ors was imprisoned in the ship's brig, the nava card was confiscated, and Katarn was stripped of his gear and brought to the lair of [[Jabba's favorite kell dragon]], to which Katarn was to be fed too. After being escorted to the pit by [[Unidentified Gamorrean (Star Jewel)|two]] [[Unidentified Gamorrean 2 (Star Jewel)|Gamorrean]] [[guard]]s, Jabba contacted his prisoner via a [[Hologram/Legends|hologram]], as Jabba was not actually present on his ship.<ref name="Dark">''[[Star Wars: Dark Forces]]''</ref>

Despite having no weapons, Katarn killed that and other [[Kell dragon]]s with his [[Unarmed combat|bare hands]]. Katarn fought guards as he entered deeper into the ship and retrieved his confiscated gear, killing the [[Gamorrean/Legends|Gamorreans]] guarding it. A waste pit was inhabited by [[Dianoga/Legends|dianogas]], where Katarn found a yellow keycard, thanks to which he reclaimed the nava card. Finally, Katarn located the brig and killed the guards, freeing Ors from her cell, and together escaped the ''Jewel'' aboard the ''Moldy Crow''.<ref name="Dark" />
