The North Star
Created | Updated Mar 17, 2004
Ship History:
When Craxus was young he began construction of a powerful AI. This AI can do many things since Craxus bound it to the force. This chip was mainly based off of a R2 Astro droid although highly modified. The R2 droid has all the history, maps, and race characteristics. Craxus made the chip be the brain, only when he was 14 years old.
Craxus took a old Long Reach Transport (The beginning ship in Episode I used by Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon when they were abassadors,)used for long range transport for civilians from one planet to the other. He modified the ships shields, engines, weapons, and cargo hold. THe ship was renamed from all the modifications to the North Star. The jedi masters were proud of Craxus since he was only a Jedi Knight when his ship was completely finished. He ship was used to transport the Jedi in big ships. He even transported all the jedi to the Genosis Ring.
When the ships computer felt that its master changed from Jedi to Sith, it reacted and flew off to Kashyyyk. The North Star, flew low to the ground and entered into the forest of the giant trees. The ship landed low to the ground. It decended for the centuries of rest until the jedi Craxus reemerges.
