The Zeta-class shuttle was a class of shuttle used by the Galactic Empire, including the Imperial Navy and the Inquisitorius, during its reign.
History[edit | edit source]
During the early stages of the Galactic Empire's reign, the Inquisitorius, a special unit of Jedi hunters led by the Sith Lord Darth Vader, utilized a Zeta-class shuttle, the Infernum, during a mission to Mon Cala to hunt a probable Jedi advisor, revealed to be the former Padawan Ferren Barr, to the King of Mon Cala.[2] The shuttle was later destroyed when Mon Calamari King Lee-Char ordered the destruction of all the surface cities on Mon Cala, including Dac City.[3]
Years later, Vader, along with Fifth Brother, a Palliduvan Inquisitor, and a Twi'lek Inquisitor used a Zeta-class shuttle to return to Coruscant after hunting down and killing former Jedi Master Eeth Koth.[4]
Three Zeta-class shuttles were also carried aboard the Strikefast, a Venator-class Star Destroyer commanded by Captain Voss Parck. The Chiss military commander Thrawn infiltrated the Strikefast and was cornered aboard one of the shuttles before willingly surrendering himself.[1]
