The Tal’tar, or Blood Star as it is translated from Mando’a, is the personal ship of the Mandalorian mercenary known as Solan Phota. Like much of the mercenary’s past, how he acquired the ship is a story that can only be speculated upon. Some claim he recovered it from a battlefield, others that he purchased it from Kuat Drive Yards disguised as an Imperial officer. The most popular theory, however, is that Solan was arrested by an Imperial patrol, but that he killed the crew when he was taken onboard and procured the ship as his own afterwards.
