5537

5537 was the designation given to an E-2T medical shuttle stationed on the Death Star. It was marked as a non-combat vessel, which ensured that neither the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire would attack it.

History
During the Battle of Yavin, defectors Villian Dance, Teela Kaarz, Memah Roothes, Cilot Ratua Dil and Kornell Divini commandeered the shuttle to escape the Death Star. Just before the craft got out of range of the station's tractor beams, Darth Vader attempted to stop it in his TIE Advanced x1. However, he sensed the combat in the Death Star's trench was a more pressing matter, and reluctantly broke off pursuit. Soon after, the station was destroyed and the defectors escaped. Presumably, the ship would go on to serve in the Rebel Alliance along with them.
