- "It's a simple, low-threat freighter. A modified Mon Cal DeepWater class. Decent armor, decent shields, nothing special."
- ―Imperial Captain Calo Drusan
The Lost Reef was DeepWater-class light freighter owned by the Yarkora antiquities dealer named Saell-Terae. He used the ship to map various portions of the Unknown Regions. Following an extended period of exploration, the Lost Reef was found, empty and adrift near Elrood sector.

History
Edit
The Lost Reef, along with some other 10,000 units of submersible DeepWater-class light freighters, was produced by the Mon Calamari shipwrights for the Mon Calamari Commercial Expeditionary Service. Unfortunately, the Galactic Empire dissolved this organization. The Mon Calamari then auctioned the ships to individual owners.
A Yarkora by the name of Saell-Terae, who claimed to be an antiques dealer, bought the Lost Reef for the purpose of partly mapping the Unknown Regions. Saell-Terae also performed several modifications on the ship, partly to adapt it to his non-amphibious biology.
While on the Regions, Saell-Terae obtained three gem-inlaid wooden statues crafted by a primitive, local species that was in conflict with Grand Admiral Thrawn. As Thrawn wanted the artworks and Saell-Terae did not want to sell them, Saell-Terae had to escape from Thrawn's agent.
Saell-Terae was eventually forced to abandon his ship near Elrood sector, although he took care to delete his navcomputer to erase any record of his travels. He forgot, nonetheless, a dataplaque with detailed astrogation charts hidden on the airlock and the statues, carefully stored in the pontoon of the ship with cargo netting and packing foam.
The ship was found and considered mysterious, but both Thrawn and Saell-Terae wanted to get their hands on it.
ModificationsEdit
Saell-Terae replaced the life-support apparatus with a different model, designed for non-amphibious species. He also added new targeting computers and several powerful weapons that the Empire considered illegal, including an array of torpedo launchers for underwater use. Lastly, the shielding package was replaced with a more advanced one.
