The Mingula was a ZZ-class freighter whose complete crew was killed by Ubuugan fleshborers during its journey from Ubuuga to Coruscant. The ship's final mission was the transportation of the body of Volpau, the recently deceased third cousin of Emperor Palpatine, to the Imperial capital to undergo ritual incineration. During this voyage, the Mingula also carried a massive cargo of vehicles and machinery, presumably the property of its late passenger.
