Darth Malgus's personal shuttle

"Take the shuttle down to fifty meters. And when I exit, you may leave."

- Darth Malgus to his pilot

A shuttle was used by the Sith Lord Darth Malgus during, and soon after, the Great Galactic War in 3,653 BBY. He used it to leave the planet Alderaan after the recent battle there, and to transport him around the Imperial-held capital planet Coruscant shortly after the Sacking of Coruscant. It had a single pilot and an intership comm.

Description
Sith Lord Darth Malgus's personal shuttle had a single pilot who could use the intership comm unit to communicate with Malgus in the back of the starship. It could carry at least one passenger.

History
An Imperial-aligned shuttle was used by Sith Lord Darth Malgus. After his defeat at the Battle of Alderaan, he was picked up and carried away in his shuttle. The vessel took him to regroup with the rest of the Sith Empire's forces to retreat, when Malgus sensed a Jedi in the ruins of an Alderaanian city, and ordered his pilot to turn around and lower the ship. Malgus overrode the safeties on the landing ramp in order to jump out and face the Jedi while the shuttle was still in the air. The shuttle hovered above while Malgus finished his fight.

Malgus's shuttle was again used shortly after the Sacking of Coruscant in 3,653 BBY. Malgus had his pilot take him to the Jedi Temple after he learned that a Jedi was going to the Temple on the galactic capital planet Coruscant. They circled at one hundred meters above the Temple for hours until Jedi Knight Aryn Leneer finally showed up. The shuttle descended to fifty meters before Malgus jumped out to face Leneer, and the pilot left. After Leneer escaped the battle, Malgus recalled his shuttle and ordered the pilot to take him to Liston Spaceport, to intercept the Jedi, and to retrieve his lover, Eleena Daru. During the flight, the back of the shuttle was nearly destroyed by Malgus, when he learned from the pilot that a peace accord had been reached with the Galactic Republic at the Alderaan Peace Conference. As soon as they arrived, he bounded off the shuttle in search of Daru.

Commanders and crew
The shuttle had a single pilot to transport Darth Malgus where he needed to go.
