The Starbreaker 12 was a starship owned by the Daragon family in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War. Originally owned by husband-and-wife starship operators Hok and Timar Daragon and used as a backup to their main craft, the Shadow Runner, the ship was bequeathed to their children, Gav and Jori Daragon, after their deaths. The Daragon siblings subsequently became hyperspace explorers, although they were not very successful. After one run, the Starbreaker 12 was taken by local repair dock owner Aarrba as collateral for repairs for which the Daragons were unable to pay. After narrowly escaping assassins sent to kill them after one of local merchant lord Ssk Kahorr's ships, the Zeta Five, was destroyed on one of the Daragons' routes, Gav and Jori Daragon were forced to steal the Starbreaker 12 from Aarrba's Repair Dock and take a hyperspace jump into unknown territory to flee pursuers.

The hyperspace jump eventually brought the Starbreaker 12 and her crew to the Sith Empire. Touching down on the planet Korriban in the middle of the funeral of Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos in the Valley of the Dark Lords, Gav and Jori Daragon were arrested and the Starbreaker 12 impounded in the Sith Citadel on the world of Ziost. It was not long, however, until the scheming Sith Lord Naga Sadow launched an attack and freed Gav and Jori Daragon, bringing them to his fortress on Khar Delba; the Starbreaker 12 was stolen and taken to Khar Delba by Sadow's Massassi agents soon afterward. Sadow's rival, Ludo Kressh, quickly attacked Khar Delba after discovering Sadow's treachery, and Sadow allowed Jori to slip away in the Starbreaker 12 during the battle, though not before planting a tracking device on the ship, which later led him back to the Galactic Republic to launch an attack. When Jori returned to her homeworld of Koros Major, the Starbreaker 12 was taken by Ssk Kahorr as payment for the destruction of the Zeta Five. Kahorr decided to take the ship on a joyride to test its functions, but the ship was destroyed by Sadow's large Sith fleet, which had followed the tracking device to the Republic.
