CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttle/Legends

Corellian Star Shuttle The Corellian Star Shuttle, also known as the Republic shuttle, was a starship designed to carry a large number of ambassadors on missions throughout the Galaxy.

The Republic shuttle was more spacious and could carry more people compared to the Consular-class space cruiser. It also featured a large meeting room. Because they were diplomatic vessels, Republic shuttles lacked weapons but boasted a powerful deflector shield.



The class was manufactured by the famous Corellian Engineering Corporation, which manufactured most of the vessels in use by the Galactic Republic. They were less versatile than most CEC designs, in part due to their extensive armor plating.

The Republic shuttle had a crew of one captain, two co-pilots, two communications officers, and three engineers. It could also carry about 200 passengers and 900 metric tons.

Star Shuttles modified for military service and equipped with at least two turbolasers served in the Judicial Forces, fighting in the Stark Hyperspace War, Yinchorri Uprising, and Clone Wars.

Behind the scenes
On his Blog, Dan Wallace revealed that Palpatine's shuttle was named Perpetuus in The Essential Guide to Episode I. However, since the book was never released, the name is not official.
