A utilitarian starship pressed into essential if unglamorous duty throughout the galaxy, the Turtle Tank is a hybrid space transport and walker vehicle. The starship has spacious holds that can be partitioned to allow for simultaneous transport of a variety of cargo, including bulk supplies to outland colonists or refuse from industrial worlds to distant dumping grounds. To assist landing on worlds with minimal or no docking facilities, the ship features four all-terrain walker legs. The minimal Turtle Tank control cabin also doubles as an escape pod, and can detach from the main hull of the ship.
On a quest for his long lost brother, Savage Opress commandeered the services of a Turtle Tanker piloted by a Sakiyan cargo hauler that was docked at the Stobar spaceport.
Opress used the Turtle Tanker to search the junk planet of Lotho Minor. Once he determined his brother's approximate whereabouts, Opress tossed the pilot overboard and landed the ship amid the endless junk piles.
Opress found his brother, Darth Maul, on Lotho Minor and used the Turtle Tanker to whisk him back to Dathomir, in order to complete his quest.
