The Guillotine was the personal starship used by the Kyuzo bounty hunter Embo during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Similarly saucer-shaped[2] to his war shield helmet and the[1] Flarestar-class attack shuttles and Corona-class armed frigates of the Weequay Ohnaka Gang,[3] the vessel had a regular entry ramp and an additional private entrance used by Embo's anooba companion Marrok.[2] He would use the Guillotine for solo missions[4] as well as to transport himself to meet with other hunters for group operations.[2] At some point, Embo traveled with his ship during his hunt for a thief who had stolen a list of undercover Republic Ghost Agents.[1] Sometime later in the War in 19 BBY,[5] Embo used the Guillotine to travel to the planet Serenno along with Marrok to join the bounty hunters of Krayt's Claw in assisting their former associate Asajj Ventress on a mission to rescue the imprisoned Jedi Quinlan Vos.[2]
