Description: The Gaze Electric was a starship used by the Ro family, members of whom participated in the Path of the Open Hand religious cult, and later the Nihil pirate syndicate over the course of many decades in the High Republic era.
The flagship was initially constructed in 382 BBY, intended to serve as a mobile home and temple for the Path of the Open Hand. Some time after the cult departed their original homeworld of Dalna, the Gaze Electric was eventually taken over by the Ros.
Eventually, the vessel was commanded by Asgar Ro, who served as the Eye of the Nihil, a major position among the anarchist marauders, and by 232 BBY, the position of Eye and ownership of the Gaze Electric had passed to Asgar Ro's son, Marchion Ro, who saw it as a "palace and fortress". Unlike other vessels utilized by the Nihil, the Gaze Electric was crewed by droids and hired personnel rather than by Nihil themselves, as Marchion was unable to trust the members of the group. The Gaze Electric was home to the medical pod of Mari San Tekka, a hyperspace prospector, whom Marchion used to generate the Paths that the Nihil utilized in their operations.
Prior to the Trymant IV disaster, Marchion did allow Nihil on the Gaze Electric as its crew. Later, aside from his aide Thaya Ferr, he again decided against keeping Nihil aboard as the crew, replacing them with droids at the same time as the destruction of Starlight Beacon. Afterward, however, Ro would ultimately allow Nihil back on the Gaze Electric, where they could be guards or simply members of its audience.
