Deference

The Deference was a Pythar-class shuttle that belonged to an Imperial scientist during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire. The scientist was the only non-Sith to step foot on the Sith Emperor's space fortress when he upgraded the station's defenses during the war, and the Deference databanks contained a full set of schematics for the fortress. However, the Deference was shot down at the Battle of Hoth in 3,665 BBY and crashed in a cave system near the Tromper Crags in Hoth's Highmount Ridge.

Over two decades later, the Deference was uncovered the White Maw pirates, who scavenged all of the shuttle's contents. It was rediscovered not long aftewards by Imperial forces, and they began to excavate the shuttle. However, a pair of Jedi Knight&mdash;Leeha Narezz and the Jedi known as the Hero of Tython&mdash;attacked the site in an attempt to gain the fortress schematics. With support from Sergeant Fideltin Rusk and the 301st Infantry, the two Jedi defeated a group of Imperial shock troopers sent by Guardsman Lassicar and learned that the White Maw had the ship's databank. The Jedi would later recover the information and use it on their mission to capture the Emperor, but the Deference would remain buried and abandoned on Hoth.
