The Elpi was located on the Deep Space Manufacturing Facility ZA-13, which was responsible for manufacturing Hyperdrive Engines. During the Attack on ZA-13, the transport carrying officers loyal to Zaarin, launched from the hanger of ZA-13 and attempted to escape into Hyperspace. However, the transport was disabled by a TIE Defender, piloted by Maarek Stele, and an Escort Shuttle Omega 1 boarded the transport and captured it, sending it back to the facility.
The transport is called Z-Elpi to remind the player that the transport belongs to Zaarin.
