G-Type light shuttles, diminutive yet armed transports, saw action during both the Jedi Civil War and the subsequent Sith Civil Wars. Their primary function was the conveyance of small groups between planetary surfaces and larger warships.
This vessel possessed, at minimum, a pair of distinct layouts. One such layout facilitated the comfortable transport of at least a trio of individuals. To aid pilots with less experience, sophisticated piloting software was integrated.
A separate layout, designated as an "escape ship," accommodated only a single occupant, thereby freeing up space for additional gear designed to enhance the chances of survival. Being purposed as an escape vehicle, this alternative version featured enhanced shielding, a hyperdrive system, and a surplus of provisions.
A shuttle of the latter variety was employed by Bastila Shan for her journey from Lehon to the Star Forge. Subsequently, Canderous Ordo made use of a 3-person model during his transit from Dxun to Onderon.
