- "Ferglutz! For the last &@#!&@ time! This is NOT the Millennium Falcon!!! Look, the Cockpit's in the center!"
- ―Taralorn Melvarrik to an old man.
The Everlasting became famous as the personal starship of Taralorn Melvarrik. It began life as a standard Corellian Engineering Corporation VCX-820 stock light freighter. Throughout its operational lifetime, the ship endured many adventures and upgrades which led to its dilapidated exterior appearance. Under Melvarrik, it played a vital role in the Events of the Ageless and many other conflicts.
History[]
- "Flandon's Teeth, what is it with the Ageless and weapons?!?"
- ―Sorvetius Auvkahn, Chief Monk of the Asgardian Order.
Looking for a ship built for speed, strength and firepower, Ageless Jedi Grandmaster Taralorn Melvarrik sought out Axton Nobulus, fellow Ageless and also a high-ranking personnel of the esteemed Corellian Engineering Corporation. Be it good timing or a great stroke of fortune, Axton had just the ship for Taralorn. A VCX-820 escort freighter. Designed several years before the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was a heavy, fast, "flying guns"-platform. With its 8 autoblasters, it could easily guard convoys of otherwise defenseless bulk freighters and commerce craft. Designed with military requirements, it was nonetheless reasonably priced on the civil market. Originally, the VCX-820 was designed for the Imperial Remnant, but invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong caused many smugglers and private traders to seek out a vessel that would allow for protected travel through profitable, yet highly dangerous, space lanes. As a result of this desire, many larger trade-firms invested in these vessels, making it quite common during the hard times of the New Republic.
