The Mama Tried was a starship that was flown by the gambler Lando Calrissian during the reign of the Galactic Empire. In 0 ABY, Calrissian stopped over on the planet Taanab whilst carrying a cargo of connor nets aboard the Mama. After Taanab was attacked by the Norulac Freebooters, Calrissian made a cantina bet that he could defeat the pirates single-handedly, and he powered up the Mama and flew into combat. After Calrissian ejected the connor nets and the pirates became entangled in the devices, and Calrissian then used the Mama's tractor beam to hurl chunks of ice at the stricken freebooters.
