The Cobra was a ship that belonged to Lando Calrissian. Calrissian had many stories of how he acquired the ship and wasn't sure which one he liked the best.^[1]

CharacteristicsEdit

The vessel was a modified Mu-class Model 2 shuttle originally manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems.

HistoryEdit

In 1 ABY, Calrissian used it as part of his wager to Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor in a sabacc game, losing the Cobra in a game rigged by Barpotomous Drebble, but then later winning it back. At this time, the Cobra was notable enough for Raynor to request it by name when Lando proposed to wager a ship in their game.

Calrissian later flew the ship off of Bespin while faking his own death in order to uncover a plot to assassinate him. Nearly three years later, Calrissian and Chewbacca flew the Cobra to Arcan IV during their search for Han Solo after the smuggler was captured by Boba Fett on Cloud City.

Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Calrissian used the Cobra on diplomatic missions to Drogheda and Keyorin. He later met up with Solo and Chewbacca on Kashyyyk, during one of the earliest incidents of the Nagai–Tof War. After the heroes crushed the slaving operation led by Nagai commander Ozrei "Knife" N'takkilomandrife, the Nagai stole the Cobra and fled. The ship was later recovered after Knife was captured on Kabray.

Calrissian flew the Cobra as Gold Leader during the Second Battle of Endor, the first major engagement of the Nagai-Tof War. Trips to Iskalon and Zeltros soon followed, both coinciding with conflicts with the Nagai.
