Omen
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Omen, later known as the Ship of Destiny, was a Sith warship in use by the Sith Empire around 5,000 BBY, during the Great Hyperspace War. It was commanded by captain Yaru Korsin. During a mission to deliver Lignan crystals to Sith Lord Naga Sadow, the Omen and another ship, the Harbinger, were ambushed by a Jedi starfighter. Despite deploying their own starfighters the Harbinger was hit by the enemy fighter's lasers, and it crashed into the Omen right as the Omen jumped to hyperspace to escape the battle. The collision knocked it off course, causing it to crash-land on the remote Wild Space planet of Kesh. A duel took palce near the Omen between Yaru Korsin and his half-brother, Devore Korsin, when Devore tried to claim command of the Sith over Yaru. Yaru defeated Devore, and retained control over the survivng Sith. With help from the planet's naive sentient species, the Keshiri—who believed the newcomers to be their gods, the Skyborn—they built a new temple near the ship's remains in the Takara Mountains. The Sith then began to mine the world in search of materials with which to rebuild the Omen, however, such materials were never found, and the Sith remained stranded on the planet for over 5,000 years.
In 41 ABY, the Sith Meditation Sphere known as Ship arrived on Kesh and made contact with the Tribe. It took several of the Sith on missions to attack starships passing nearby, to raid them for parts to rebuild the Omen. Once it was repaired, the Omen became one of the first ships in the Tribe's new Sith armada.
