What is the name of Jabba’s sail barge?

The story behind the answer

In Return of the Jedi, Jabba’s personal Ubrikkian Luxury Sail Barge is canonically identified by a distinct Huttese proper name in official sources like the script and Visual Dictionary. The distractors don’t match canon: “Simoom” is actually a term for a desert wind, while “Sable Serpent” and “Desert Whisper” are plausible-sounding but unattested vessel names in Star Wars lore.

This lavish craft serves as a mobile throne room and party platform during the trip to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where Jabba plans to execute Luke, Han, and Chewie. The barge’s dramatic end—after Leia kills Jabba and Luke fires the deck gun—cements the scene as a pivotal Tatooine set piece and an iconic blend of crime-lord decadence and desert peril in the saga.
