The Curich-class Shuttle is designed to carry light cargo or passengers quickly for short duration trips, such as across well known hyperspace routes. Shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star, Governor General (Moff is the proper title) Lord Dixton employed a Curich-class Shuttle fitted to serve his needs to transport himself and his entourage to Fakir Sector capital, the planet of Vakkar. However, during transit his transport was attacked by the Rebels.
