The Shekelesh-class freight gunship was a model of freighter gunship manufactured by the Techno Union and frequently used by Moogans, earning it the names Moogan cargo ship and Moogan smuggler ship.
Characteristics and Description[]
The shape of the gunship was tall and curved and its landing gear comprised of six insect-like segmented legs, similar to those of the Sheathipede-class transport shuttle. These legs were used to walk on the ground when the ship landed. While in walk-mode, it could scuttle away to avoid police or other authorities. The design of the ship decreased the time it took to unload the ship, with the cargo hold located in its lower belly.[1]
History[]
Around 21 BBY, a party of Moogans and Gotals, led by the Moogan Tee Va, smuggled tea to Mandalore, which after being poisoned with slabin ended up in the hands of its children.[2]
In 20 BBY, more Moogans were seen to unload at the time when Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on Sundari to rescue Satine Kryze.
