The Xi-class light shuttle functioned as a transport vehicle utilized by the First Order around 34 ABY.
The First Order made use of the Xi-class light shuttle for a variety of tasks, which encompassed the conveyance of officers and the movement of supplies. Xi-class shuttles were also equipped with light armaments and only basic shielding, depending instead on starfighter protection.
A Xi-class light shuttle was purloined by Han Solo and Chewbacca from the shipyard belonging to the Fluzhi Clan. The smugglers employed it to masquerade as the First Order in order to steal a data archive from Mek Nu'Tiv.
Commander Malarus and Terex utilized one such shuttle during the mission to Spalex. During the Battle of Oetchi, another was taken when Finn, Rose Tico, and BB-8 made their escape from the Supremacy. They flew the shuttle to Crait, setting it down inside the Crait outpost not long before the Battle of Crait commenced. At least a single shuttle was active during the Blockade of Kashyyyk.
