- "Attention Kasmiri. This vessel has been reported stolen—and is suspected of harboring a fugitive. Surrender or be destroyed!"
- ―A Republic technician to Caleb Dume after Dume stole the Kasmiri
The Kasmiri was the personal Starship of the Kalleran scoundrel Janus Kasmir during the Clone Wars. It was stolen by the Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume while he fled clone troopers who were trying to kill him during the execution of Clone Protocol 66.[1]
History
During the last year of the galaxy-wide conflict known as the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Kasmir was owned by the Kalleran criminal Janus Kasmir. During that time, a battle broke out on Kaller, Kasmir's homeworld in the Outer Rim Territories. The Confederates were soon defeated, and the two Jedi who had led the Republic's forces, Jedi Master Depa Billaba and her Padawan, Caleb Dume, were intoduced to Kasmir before they left to sleep under the stars with their loyal Clone troopers. Kasmir, meanwhile, travelled to Plateau City, where the Kasmiri docked in the city's spaceport.[2][3]
Several planetary rotations later, Kasmir found Dume in an alleyway having survived being betrayed by his troopers—though his master had not. Because Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine was secretly a Sith Lord and had transformed the Republic into the First Galactic Empire—with himself as Emperor—and ordered the extermination of the Jedi Order. Kasmir brought Dume to the Kasmiri where he washed and slept for a full day, before recieving a message from the Jedi Temple on the Imperial capital of Coruscant, calling him back to the temple. Kasmir refused to take Dume to the city-planet and told Dume that if he wanted to survive the Imperial troops and bounty hunters hunting him, he needed to learn how to steal and cheat to survive.[3]
Just then, two clone troopers arrived to search the Kasmiri for Padawan Dume. Kasmir exited the ship to try and reason with the armored troops, while Dume took Kasmir's advice to heart: He entered the Coruscant system into the Kasmiri's navigation computer, blasted away from the spaceport and entered hyperspace. Soon thereafter, as Dume neared Coruscant, he received a message from Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi telling all Jedi who received the message to stay away from Coruscant at all costs; the summons to the temple was a trap. Dume realized he had made a mistake as he exited hyperspace in orbit over Coruscant: He was instantly surrounded by Imperial ARC-170 starfighters that demanded his surrender.
