Scopium was a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle that the Galactic Empire utilized throughout the Imperial Era. In approximately 3 ABY, Major Sharin from the Imperial Security Bureau employed this shuttle as transportation to the secret Imperial installation known as Second Sun. Her purpose was to assess the security protocols in place at that location. Once she had determined that Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod, the station's commander, was maintaining adequate control, her plan was to utilize Scopium for travel to Al'doleem in order to look into an event that had recently taken place. However, after boarding the shuttle, Bevelyn, a Death Star employee seeking to leave the station alongside Jon Melton and alert the Rebel Alliance to its existence, killed her.
