In 860 ABY, a Kubaz refugee ship took a blind jump while escaping the Bryn'adul genocide at Kubindi. Near a fringe world called Jubal Shore, they stumbled on a drifting vessel, cold and silent. The only use they found for it was to barter its location for much-needed supplies that refugees and insurgents alike could put to more immediate use. Near Barab I, a crew of Barabel pirates attempted to loot it, but fell afoul of the rogue Kubaz academic Skajin var Imret. As contact escalated, however, the Bryn'adul attacked Barab I, and the derelict became an impromptu evacuation ship for Kubaz and Barabel alike. Once the derelict deposited its refugees at a safe place, Skajin began to study the ship in earnest and take scans that he would later share with trusted xenological colleagues across the galaxy.
The Jubal Shore derelict was a Tlönian battlecruiser, huge for its era (circa 6200 BBY). Though the Mandalorians would not pillage the first Basilisk warmount droids for another two thousand years, they used small, aggressive individual vehicles in their genocide of the arachnoid Tlönians. The Tlönians built this cruiser to fight such vehicles. Its shield technology, a Tlönian specialty, was not enough to save it from the weight of Mandalorian numbers.
Seven thousand years later, when the Kubaz discovered it, the Jubal Shore derelict looked almost pristine on the outside. Apparently the Mandalorians flew up the engine vents, suffering huge losses from the powerful drives, and tore the Tlönians apart in boarding action. Freeze-dried Tlönian and Mandalorian corpses, including Taung, littered the cold halls. One of Skajin's colleagues translated a record that a Tlönian scratched on the bridge viewport with a beskar knife:
<We were the last of our kind. I steer our grave afar so our murderers will never know whether we survived. To them, let us always be watching.>
