The Curich-class shuttle represented a specific model of Imperial shuttle.
The design of the Curich-class shuttle prioritized the rapid conveyance of small amounts of cargo or personnel, particularly for brief journeys, like those across established hyperspace routes.
Not long after the first Death Star was obliterated, Governor General Lord Dixton utilized a modified Curich-class shuttle to fulfill his personal transportation requirements, moving himself and his staff to Vakkar, which served as the capital within the Fakir sector. Nevertheless, while en route, Rebel forces launched an assault on his vessel.
