The Hornet was a prototype CIS vessel built towards the end of the clone wars in a secret (and forgotten) separatist facility. Its location was lost with the death of General Grievous and knowledge of its whereabouts remained unknown for centuries. Its droid crew continuing to maintain and upkeep the ship in isolation, immune to the droid shutdown signal that deactivated the majority of CIS droids, due to the shielded, secret location. By chance, a Hutt discovered the location of the ship in 'antique' computer cores salvaged from old CIS ships, and sent a trusted lieutenant to retrieve it. Sadly, the Hutt was killed before he could bring the ship into his fleet against his enemies.
But the Hutt's loss was Zago Kint's gain, and he now operates the vessel as an utterly unique and capable pirate ship.
