Forlorn Justiciar

The Forlorn Justiciar was a Hammerhead-class cruiser that served the Old Republic in the era of the Rise of Trask Ulgo. It was responsible for the trasportation of the only known copy of the Galactic Travel Guide out of the Force Galaxy during the period of conflict to prevent its destruction, and it was one of the last Hammerhead-class cruisers to exist by the end of the Old Republic era.

The Galactic Travel Guide was loaded onto the Forlorn Justiciar and it began its journey to the Milky Way Galaxy where the Museum of Unnatural History was preparing its exhibit. After spending nearly seven years in deep space, the Forlorn Justiciar was intercepted by League Scout Ships on the outskirts of the Force Galaxy and picked up. Despite the large size of the Hammerhead-class cruiser by Force Galaxy standards, the ship could fit quite easily into the hangar of even the smallest League Scout Ship.

After a further three years of travelling, the League Scout Ships arrived at Inon II and deposited the Forlorn Justiciar within the atmosphere. It is estimated that being transported within the League Scout Ship saved the crew of the Forlorn Justiciar nearly 14 years of travelling, and allowed them to prepare to make the return journey to the Force Galaxy with all due speed. However, news reached them that the Galaxy was in turmoil and they decided to remain in the Milky Way Galaxy for a further three years before returning to the Force Galaxy.

The mission of the Forlorn Justiciar was an important one as it presented the Museum of Unnatural History (and therefore the League) with their first concise information guide on the Force Galaxy, which contained all the information that the crew of the Ebon Hawk had collected on their voyages along with data that the Galactic Republic had collected. As communications between the Milky Way and the Force Galaxies improved, massive trips like the one undertaken by the Forlorn Justiciar became unnecessary, and even if they were, improvements to faster-than-light travel systems such as hyperspace and slipspace meant that trips between the Force Galaxy and the Milky Way took far less time. Nevertheless, the Forlorn Justiciar took its place in history as the first Republic vessel to take a document of such importance on a trans-Galactic voyage.
