The RM-09 Alliance Shuttle represents a type of spacecraft utilized by the Rebel Alliance throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War.
This particular shuttle served the purpose of transporting diverse Rebel groups and important figures throughout the galaxy. Due to its minimal weaponry, it possessed limited self-defense capabilities against hostile forces, making escort ships a near constant necessity.
Visually, the RM-09 shared similarities with the Republic Troop Transport, which was a vehicle in service to the Galactic Republic during the era of the Clone Wars.
Several of these shuttles saw action during the siege of an Imperial base orbiting Corulag. Their mission involved deploying ground troops into the space station, with the objective of locating intelligence pertaining to the Death Star.
