Unidentified Lucrehulk-class pirate ship

"Captain! We've been boarded by a Jedi!''" "''This is Dooku's fault! To the escape pods!"

- Pundar and a crewer prepare to abandon ship over Fondor

A Lucrehulk-class pirate ship was used by Dool Pundar. The Neimoidian captain absconded with his vessel during the Invasion of Naboo and was still using it at the time of the Clone Wars. It was abandoned after a Jedi crashed onboard.

Characteristics
Dool Pundar's Lucrehulk-class pirate ship was a modified freighter. It was equipped with a centersphere and two cargo arms. The vessel was circular, with the arms terminating in a crescent-shape. Three engines propelled the vessel through space. Like other vessels of its class manufactured by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc., it was 3,170 meters in diameter. The battleship was equipped with escape pods and had turreted weapons on the top of the right arm. It had a force B1 battle droids and approximately 100 Vulture droid starfighters.

History
In 32 BBY, the Trade Federation militarized its Lucrehulk fleet, which included Captain Pundar's vessel. As the fleet prepared for the blockade of the planet Naboo in response to a trade dispute, Pundar and his allies onboard sent out a distress signal and altered course to hide in a nebula. There they killed the Trade Federation loyalists by flushing them out an airlock. Pundar was then able to abscond with the vessel and set himself up as a pirate lord.

Years later, during the Clone Wars, Pundar and his vessel captured a freighter, which belonged to Noggox the Hutt. Pundar mercifully let the crew depart while he and his Lucrehulk took off from the area. Pundar subsequently set up position in the Fondor Shipyards at the behest of Count Dooku, a former Jedi and now leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Pundar planned on capturing Noggox's last freighter, which was carrying droid brains for the Galactic Republic. When it arrived, Pundar launched twelve of his Vulture starfighters to attack. The freighter had a Jedi escort, though, and Nuru Kungurama was able to pilot the freighter to a crash-landing in one of the Lucrehulk's cargo arms. A pirate informed Pundar of the infiltration, who ordered the crew to abandon ship. The pirate ship was then seized by the Fondor Space Patrol.

Behind the scenes
The Lucrehulk-class pirate ship was first mentioned in a Wizards.com article for a bounty storyline, Dool Pundar: Pirate Lord. The ship later appeared in 2011's Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Strange Allies comic.
