Jabitha

The Jabitha was Anakin Skywalker's starship that appeared in the Expanded Universe novel Rogue Planet. Three years after the Battle of Naboo, Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his padawan Anakin Skywalker travelled to the mysterious living world of Zonama Sekot which was rumoured to be home to the fastest ships in the galaxy. These two Jedi knights discovered that not only were the Zonaman Sekotan ships incredibly fast but that they were also wonderful and beautiful living craft. The Sekotans presented them with one of these ships, which Anakin Skywalker named the Jabitha to honour the Sekotan Magister's daughter. The Jabitha is unique from most ships because it was handcrafted by the master Sekotan shipbuilders.

The Jabitha's life began when its two future masters Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were brought into a large chamber for a special ceremony. This chamber was filled with thousands of tiny spikeballs with some degree of consciousness called "seed partners". These seed partners buried the two Jedi knights. When Anakin and Obi-Wan awoke from their sleep, they learnt that 15 of those seed partners had chosen the Jedi and agreed to become part of their new vehicle. Later, the Jedi were placed incide a handcrafted starship frame, as the living ship was built around them. This resulted in a strange combination if their seed partners with organoform circuits and mechanical components purchased from ship manufactures.

The Jabitha was one of the best Sekotan ships ever created. It was 30 metres long with a broad wingspan. The living ship carried two modified Haor Chall type-7 Silver-class light starship engines as well as an expensive hyperdrive unit. The interior was green, red and blue, shining like a jewel. The controls were unmarked but Anakin's piloting skills and strong Force abilities and connection to the seed partners meant that he could communicate with the ship telepathically. But unfortunetly, the living vessels was critically damaged during a battle between Zonama Sekot and Republic commander Tarkin which ended when the living planet retreated into hyperspace. The Jabitha later died at the outpost planet Seline.
