During the Clone Wars, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, a Commander in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet known as "Thrawn," utilized a personal shuttle for his various assignments. In the year 19 BBY, Thrawn, accompanied by a pilot named Che'ri, was tasked by the Chiss Ascendancy with a retrieval operation. Their mission led them to an encounter with Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi General, in orbit above the planet Batuu. Subsequently, Thrawn successfully acquired his objective, shield technology located on Mokivj, and further assisted Skywalker in overcoming Solha, a Separatist Duke, who was engaged in mining operations for cortosis, a unique metal resistant to lightsabers intended for use against the Jedi. Following Solha's defeat, Skywalker's actions resulted in the destruction of the mine, triggering a catastrophic failure. Thrawn, the pilot, and their ship successfully escaped, and Thrawn and Skywalker then separated.
The 2018 novel Thrawn: Alliances features the appearance of Mitth'raw'nuruodo's ship.
