The Emissary-class shuttle, a kind of diplomatic shuttle, saw use following the Seventh Battle of Ruusan. These Emissary-class shuttles, equipped with a hyperdrive, functioned as shuttles for the Galactic Republic. While functional, they lacked luxury, setting them apart from vessels like the Theta-class shuttle. The New Dawn, a shuttle belonging to Chancellor Tarsus Valorum, exemplified the Emissary-class.
