A Senate Commando was the pilot of Palpatine's executive shuttle during the Zillo Beast incident. During the incident, the involved Zillo Beast caught the H-2 executive shuttle, and Anakin Skywalker used his lightsaber to cut it in half, causing all aboard the shuttle to fall out. After Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine escaped with R2-D2, the Zillo Beast crushed what was left of the transport, killing the Senate Commando in the process.
