- "That mob of animals accosted theStar Jewel during the layover on Nar Haaska. Superficial damage to the landing gear and hull plating only, but more than enough for Jabba to notice."
- ―Bib Fortuna[1]
TheStar Jewel was astarship manufactured byUbrikkian Industries that was owned by thecrime lordJabba Desilijic Tiure during theImperial Era.[1] At some prior to or during3 ABY,[3] Jabba'smajordomoBib Fortuna was on board the vessel when it made a layover stop on the world ofNar Haaska, where theshipjackerBandit Billie andhercrew ofTaurill attempted tosteal the ship.[1]
The attempt was unsuccessful, with Billie being injured by aGamorreanvibro-ax, but did cause superficial damage toStar Jewel's landing gear and hullplating. Knowing that Jabba would notice the damage, Fortuna had the ship's course changed to the world ofKeldooine to be repaired at theKeldooine Starshipwrights. En route, he made note of the attempted theft in thebook known as theSmuggler's Guide, which he had taken from Billie and intended to judge the value of while traveling.[1]
