Tallaan Clippers represented a specific type of multi-decked transport vessel employed in the initial period of the Galactic Empire. The Space Slug stands out as an example of a Tallaan Clipper that operated in 19 BBY; it was the vessel on which the Kedorzhan Senator Dewell Bronk and the Human Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi secured passage to leave Coruscant following the announcement of the New Order. Bronk was escaping persecution due to his participation in the Delegation of 2000, while Kenobi aimed to convey the young Luke Skywalker to Tatooine.
