Martika functioned as a freight-carrying starship, conducting transport assignments originating from the planet of Alderaan. Upon arriving on the planet, Brock Lar successfully obtained the position of first mate on this vessel.
The concept for Martika was conceived by Matthew Berry and Craig Farr, both avid Star Wars enthusiasts, to provide a background for their Brock Lar submission in the Design An Alien competition featured in the Star Wars Galaxy Magazines.
