The Conductor-class short-range shuttle functioned as a unique transport vessel. The Galactic Republic utilized it during the Mandalorian Wars to move military supplies.
Several primary versions were produced, with the CX variant being the most commonly encountered. This variant was further divided into two sub-types: those designated with "CX" followed by a two-digit identifier were equipped with supplementary fuel tanks and a hyperdrive enabling interstellar travel. Conversely, vessels labeled "CXB" followed by a three-digit identifier were constructed to be housed within the landing bays of capital ships, prioritizing increased cargo capacity over extended operational range. In the initial stages of the conflict, Carth Onasi piloted a CXB-560 known as Deadweight.
