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
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 Twi'lek Inquisitor and another 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]
