Starlight Sled

The Starlight Sled was originally supplied to Tav Garvin under the name Tasty Snack by Dorval the Hutt to explore Wild Space. Dorval's gamble was the idea that he could find new worlds to exploit and therefore rise in prominence among the Hutts. Tav was hired to lead the expedition and Dorval supplied a crew to man the Snack.

Things didn't quite go as planned however and Tav was forced to land the Snack on the planet Durden after a near collision in hyperspace. From there Tav and the crew had a series of harrowing adventures before finally making it back to charted space. However the Snack was in such bad shape by that time, that Tav was able to simply buy the battered YT-2000 from Dorval at a discount (not to mention being indebted to do a few jobs for the Hutt on the side).

Tav and his faithful droid, Quex, spent all of their free time and money fixing up the Snack to turn it into a ship that would do any smuggler proud. They also renamed it the Starlight Sled so Tav wouldn't cringe every time he had to tell someone it's name.
