The troop transport's design resembled the repulsorlift-based Platoon Attack Craft used by the Trade Federation during the Invasion of Naboo.
The transport first appeared in the Star Wars Legends continuity's The Last Command 2, the second issue of the comic adaptation of The Last Command. Released on December 24, 1997, the comic issue was written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Edvin Biukovic with colors by Pamela Rambo.
In the early-1997 Special Edition re-release of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, a similar craft existed in the form of what in Star Wars canon is identified as the stormtrooper transport. However, the Special Edition repulsorcraft featured a notable distinction from the The Last Command transport: the hull that surrounded the Special Edition troop transport was bulbous, whereas the The Last Command transport had a less stocky profile.
