ST 321/Legends

"Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived."

- Control officer

ST 321 was an Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle that was used by Darth Vader on several occasions.

Characteristics


It had sensor jammers, specialized tactical displays, and other modified features.

In 1.5 ABY Vader, accompanied by a unit of Triumphant-class dark troopers, used this shuttle during the operations Molecular Clamp, Sieve, Green Light and Take Down to travel to the cities of Bestine, Coronet and Theed.

Shortly before the Battle of Endor the ST 321 brought Darth Vader to the second Death Star. It is possible this was the shuttle Luke Skywalker used to escape the second Death Star along with his deceased father.

Behind the scenes
The Return of the Jedi radio dramatization states that Luke escaped the second death star in Emperor Palpatine's personal shuttle. The recently released novel The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader counters this by stating that the escape was made in Vader's shuttle.
