The Beneficent Tasia was the colony ship that, along with its consorts Mother Vima and Constant, brought the first Human settlers to Naboo. Named after Queen Elsinoré den Tasia of Grizmallt, who had sponsored the expedition, and captained by the explorer Kwilaan, it crashed on Naboo in 3900 BBY. Despite the accident, the passengers of the Beneficent Tasia survived and started to colonize the planet. In the millennia that followed, the memory of that colony ship remained in the minds of the Naboo people and was evoked during the Festival of Light.
