The Oroko was a transport ship that served as a mobile base for the pirate Valius Ying's gang during the Mandalorian Wars. Operating out of the Outer Rim Territories, Ying and the Oroko hunted fugitive Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick and accomplice Marn Hierogryph in 3964 BBY, after Carrick was accused of murdering four classmates. The Oroko found its quarry in the Taris asteroid belt and captured them in the junk hauler Last Resort with its tractor beam. After Hierogryph struck a deal for his freedom, Ying brought the Oroko to Taris and left to turn Carrick over to the Jedi Order. Meanwhile, Hierogryph bribed the Oroko's first mate to drop the Last Resort off in orbit, allowing for Carrick's rescue.
