Xi-class light shuttle


Characteristics


The First Order employed the Xi-class light shuttle for many purposes, including ferrying officers and transporting equipment. Xi-class shuttles also had light weapons and minimal shields, relying instead on starfighter escorts for protection.

A Xi-class light shuttle takes off from Starkiller Base.

Han Solo and Chewbacca stole a Xi-class light shuttle from the shipyard of the Fluzhi Clan. The smugglers used it to impersonate the First Order so they could steal a data archive from Mek Nu'Tiv.

One such shuttle was used during the mission to Spalex by Commander Malarus and Terex. Another was stolen during the Battle of Oetchi when Finn, Rose Tico, and BB-8 escaped the Supremacy. They piloted the shuttle to Crait, landing it inside the Crait outpost shortly before the Battle of Crait began. At least one shuttle was deployed during the Blockade of Kashyyyk.
