At Karrde's base on Myrkr, where Skywalker lacked his Force talents, Mara was intent on following through but a series of circumstances and some unknown hesitation resulted in her helping him escape instead. Into this promising future crashed Luke Skywalker, the man she was compelled to kill. So impressed was Karrde by this woman that he hired her on the spot over the following six months she rose within his organization at an astonishing rate, propelled by her skills, insight and abilities.

Prior to gaining her own ship, Mara used a personal Z-95 Headhunter when circumstances required her to go off on her own.

However, it also means "myrrh" or "fragrance", which portrays her character in later books.
