History
- "Kyle, the evac ships are standing by. Just keep those prisoners alive!"
- ―Jan Ors to Kyle Katarn
It was used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War and a group of smugglers and mercenaries affiliated with the Disciples of Ragnos, later in the war. The transports were later used by the New Republic to speedily evacuate friendly-personnel, such as escaped prisoners, from enemy bases. They were deployed to evacuate the revolting prisoners and Kyle Katarn during the Battle of Artus Prime.
Landed freelance TC9s in 14 ABY.
On a mission to Mos Eisley in 14 ABY, Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr discovered a couple of TC9s. They would later run into them again, as the mercenaries used them for transporting personnel when they hijacked a cargo tram on Corellia.
