Garbage scow

This article is about a model of starship. You may be looking for a trash scow, a type of flat-topped vehicle that transported garbage.

"Well let me make it simple for you. That's a garbage scow. And the salvage yard that uses that kind of Arkon II level transports in this sector is located on—"

―Tarr Kligson to Jango Fett, advising the latter to look for a garbage scow on Halliron-7^[1]

Garbage scows were a model of starship. Around 33 BBY, the Chevin Renzoh Silliac was hired to transport the thief Nakano Lash in one of his garbage scows to his salvage yard on the astronomical object Hallitron-7, but ultimately booked her on a commuter shuttle headed to another destination after learning those who had hired him wanted to kill the thief. Helped by the bounty hunter Tarr Kligson, the bounty hunter Jango Fett tracked down the garbage scow to Hallitron-7.

Characteristics[]

Garbage scows were a starship model that featured a cockpit, communications systems,^[2] and engines.^[1]

History[]

"I was paid…a lot…to transport the thief and the statue here for pickup hidden in one of my scows."

―Renzoh Silliac to Jango Fett^[1]

At the onset of the Great Hyperspace Disaster^[2] in 232 BBY,^[3] Hetzal system scantechs Merven Getter and Vel Carann issued a system-wide alarm warning of the unexpected objects entering their area of space, with the former contemplating how their message would be heard everywhere, including the cockpits of garbage scows.^[2]

GarbageScowHologram-JangoFett2 — Tarr Kligson helped Jango Fett track a garbage scow to Hallitron-7.

On the astronomical object Jaloria^[1] around 33 BBY,^[4] a replica of the Hope of Glee Anselm artifact on display during a treaty ceremony—which its participants believed to be the real artifact—was stolen by several thieves, including the Nautolan Nakano Lash.^[5] The Chevin Renzoh Silliac was hired to transport Lash and the artifact via one of his Arkon II level transport garbage scows to his salvage yard on the astronomical object Hallitron-7. However, when he learned that those who had hired him intended to kill Lash instead, he wanted to save her life and booked her on a commuter shuttle scheduled to make a supply drop on^[1] the planet^[5] Roxuli before continuing on to^[1] the planet^[2] Coruscant.^[1]

Not long after, an information broker on Coruscant became aware of a lone garbage scow that had left Jaloria after it had been locked down via a recording reflected off a comm satellite. When the bounty hunter Jango Fett embarked on a search for the thieves who had taken the artifact, the informant presented him with a datapad showing the recording of the garbage scow. Tarr Kligson, a friend of Fett, tried to gather information on the garbage scow but found that all records of it had been scrubbed.^[1] He^[6] reported this to Fett, and told the hunter that the ship was a garbage scow, similar to the ones found in the junkyards of Hallitron-7. There, Fett interrogated Silliac, who admitted to his part in being hired to transport Lash and the artifact with his garbage scow.^[1]
