A Flarestar-class attack shuttle was used by Hondo Ohnaka and his gang of pirates.
Characteristics
The shuttle could be launched from a Surronian cruiser-based Corona-class armed frigate and land on surfaces too small for the mothership. It was at least 1/11 the size of the carrier vessel. The saucer craft had a dual cockpit design, with transparisteel canopies on the dorsal surface of the saucer.[3]
On the ventral side, the vessel had two thrusters, two laser cannons, two torpedo launchers and three boarding ramps. Two on the front side leading towards the two cockpits and another one located on the back for passengers/cargo.[5] Like all Flarestar-class attack shuttles owned by Ohnaka, the mark of his pirate gang was painted on both sides of the ship.[3]
History
The ship transported Count Dooku and Ohnaka from Vanqor to the surface of Florrum.[3] Later, an accomplice of Turk Falso, the lieutenant of Ohnaka used the saucer to attack and take down a Republic Nu-class attack shuttle carrying a ransom of spice for Count Dooku proving that the craft was very capable as a starfighter against enemy craft.[5]
