―Lourna Dee reveals the name of her ship to Marchion Ro^[2]

The Lourna Dee was the flagship of Lourna Dee, Tempest Runner in the Nihil marauder organization, following the loss of her previous starship of the same name. The vessel was formerly the Restitution, a correctional ship of the Galactic Republic. The Restitution constantly journeyed between star systems, with its prisoners being taught skills to repay for their deeds. Dee was assigned to the Restitution after being captured by the Republic and Jedi Order, who were unaware of her identity. Over a month after Dee's capture, the Restitution was attacked by former Nihil Tempest Runner Pan Eyta, who sought revenge on Dee. Though Dee had begun to turn away from her Nihil past, the attack eventually drove her to take command of the prison ship, the crew of which had been near eliminated by the attackers. Dee renamed the vessel after herself, returning to the Nihil with the surviving prisoners as her new Tempest.^[2] Eventually, Dee instead came to use the former Jedi starcruiser Ataraxia,^[3] which she had stolen during the destruction of Starlight Beacon^[4] and also renamed Lourna Dee, as her personal vessel.^[3]
