Kragan Gorr's shuttle


After the Warbird gang attempted a mutiny and were expelled from the Colossus, the shuttle was kept inside the Colossus and was later used, in 35 ABY, by former pirate Synara San in the defense of the Colossus against the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, Thunderer, in a battle in the Barabesh system.

Description


A unique shuttle, that served as the personal shuttle of the pirate leader Kragan Gorr, was made by the Warbird gang from scavenged Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle parts. The shuttle counted with eight thrusters, alongside a complement of laser cannons and ion cannons that were demanding to the starship's power. The shuttle was also maneuverable in-atmosphere, but it had minimal shields and an unreliable hyperdrive. Despite unreliable characteristics, the ship had an ample cargo space used by the pirates for any stolen loot.

Raiding the Colossus

In 34 ABY, the shuttle took part in two raids against the Supertanker fuel depot Colossus. Looking to occupy the Colossus, the First Order employed the Warbird gang to attack the station, hoping Captain Imanuel Doza, the owner of the Colossus, would join the First Order. During the first raid, Synara San piloted Gorr's shuttle. Inside the shuttle, Gorr gave out orders to his fellow pirates, but after Resistance spy Kazuda Xiono broadcasted an unpleasant feedback over the pirates' frequency, Gorr ordered the retreat.

In the second raid, Kragan Gorr used the shuttle as escape transport, after he saw they had done enough damage towards the Colossus. During their escape, the shuttle was being piloted by Nikto pirate Leoz.

Helping the Colossus

When the First Order ended their partnership and betrayed them, the pirates helped Doza and the Colossus escape from Castilon. Once safe, the pirates accompanied the Colossus on their journey. During their travels, the pirates kept the shuttle parked inside their hangar alongside the Galleon. After the pirates attempted a mutiny, they were expelled from the Colossus, and their shuttle was left behind and kept inside the former pirate hangar.

In 35 ABY, Synara San used the shuttle when Team Colossus attacked the Thunderer, a First Order Resurgent-class Star Destroyer, in the Barabesh system, which was where Tamara Ryvora, Kazuda Xiono and Jarek Yeager were trapped. The shuttle alongside starfighters from Ace and Jade Squadron managed to destroy the Star Destroyer and rescue their friends.
