Gahenna

Gahenna was a modified Confederacy of Independent Systems Lucrehulk-class core ship, which had been outfitted as a science vessel.

Four months into the Clone Wars, Gahenna was loaded with a score of equipment from a secret Separatist laboratory on Queyta; the facility where Jenna Zan Arbor’s swamp gas had been developed. For two years, Gahenna cruised the Outer Rim, developing a new strain of toxin – the defoliant TriHexalophine1138. Information about the weapon was stored aboard Gahenna’s Scientific Instrument Package, or SIP.

Gahenna was dispatched to Naboo, where it was to test the new defoliant weapon. The Republic learnt of the plan, however, and Gahenna was brought down over Honoghr. Gahenna was destroyed, and its deadly cargo unleashed on the unsuspecting world.

Behind the scenes

 * The name Gahenna is more than likely derived from the name Gehenna, which in Hebrew and Greek translates to "hell" or "a place of torment and suffering for lost souls."
