A cutter, also known as a starcutter, represented a class of non-military starship utilized throughout the Galactic Empire's era. In the year 3 BBY, Kier Domadi served as the pilot of a starcutter, navigating it to the Paucris system; his objective was to collect intelligence regarding a band of rebels, with the intention of informing the Empire about his findings.
After the events of the Siege of Inyusu Tor, Everi Chalis executed a transaction, exchanging an Imperial shuttle to acquire a starcutter.
