The Ebon Hawk is legendary among smuggling circles, having spent the last decade being used to shuttle goods for the Taris underworld boss, Davik Kang. Through careful piloting and a ridiculously overpowered drive system, the ship has outrun Republic and Sith patrols alike, making deliveries to any number of shady characters along the galactic rim. Davik would joke that it was the best thing he had ever stolen, and for the number of times it saved his life, he had good reason to make the claim.
It's not clear exactly where Davik acquired the Ebon Hawk. The primary systems have been modified so many times that the original classification and even the company that built it are hard to determine.
It's possible the ship was a developmental prototype from some showroom floor, cobbled together from several different models. Key components are obvious retrofits, from the stolen navigational computers to the uncommonly powerful hyperdrive. A number of smuggler-specific customizations have been made as well, though only Davik knows where or how to access them all.
