Menagerie

The Menagerie is a heavily damaged Marauder Mark II cruiser which has been converted into a mobile Jedi academy.

Peace Brigade
The Menagerie was used by the Peace Brigade as an offering ship to the Yuuzhan Vong. It was loaded with incredible living specimens of all kinds, and presented to Kain Lah as a show of good will. Kain Lah rejected the gift and destroyed the ship, using a giant Dovin Basal to tear it into two pieces. Jedi operatives aboard the back half used it to critically damage Lah's ship and escaped, using it as a mobile base of operations during the war.

Jedi Carrier
The flora and fauna kept on board the ship had caused the Menagerie to become completely overgrown. Kur'go took it upon himself to repair the ship and keep it running, and he eventually became the ship's captain. Scar also chose to remain on the ship, keeping the creatures in check. As they reclaimed more of the ship, the ship became a transport and starfighter carrier, including the base of operations for the Sundown Guard. By using a Gungan shield projector, they were able to land more transports and fighters on the wings of the ship.

New Jedi Order
After the war, Jedi Masters Scar and Kur'go put the Menagerie to use as a mobile extension of the Redemption Academy. Its network of jungle-like accessways could be used to help students learn to precisely perceive life forms through the Force, and it could travel to different star systems. The Sundown Guard pilots became officially part of the Jedi Order, and Vixor Pike became the third Master on board the ship.

The Menagerie primarily stayed in Hutt Space, where the presence of an armed Jedi cruiser was both valuable and welcome. However, recently reports have begun to come in of rogue TIE pilots in the region raiding unarmed vessels, although Master Kur'go knows nothing about it.
