Unidentified shuttle (Tam Posla)

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

An escape shuttle was brought by the vigilante Tam Posla to the wreckage-prison Accresker Jail, in 3 ABY, as part of a deal with the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra. Posla was deliverred the escape vessel to the rogue archaeologist in exchange for his arch nemesis Doctor Cornelius Evazan. Aphra and her companion Magna Tolvan attempted to escape Accresker Jail in the shuttle but were quickly shot down by the assassin droids 0-0-0 and BT-1, who were there to capture Aphra.

Description

The shuttle was a wedge-shaped starship with two wings angled acutely on its underside. The vessel possessed four sublight engines at its rear, two of them attached at the top of the ship. The shuttle's cockpit included a black tinted window split into eight parts by its metal support frame. The shuttle was gray- and red-color, with the top two sublight engines being yellow.^[3]

History

In 3 ABY,^[2] the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra contacted the vigilante Tam Posla, demanding an escape shuttle to to help her get off of Accresker Jail, an Imperial wreckage-prison which was on a crash course with the^[1] Mid Rim Territories^[4] planet Tiferep Major. Posla reluctantly agreed to the deal after Aphra revealed she had his arch nemesis Doctor Cornelius Evazan in her custody. The vigilante thus brought the shuttle, attached to the undercarriage of his own ship.^[1]

Landing in a hangar of Accresker Jail's wrecked prison-tug, Posla detached the shuttle from his ship and took Evazan, who was frozen in a block of ice, in exchange. After going out of her way to acquire a lightsaber from one of the prison's many wrecked ships, Aphra and her companion, Magna Tolvan, got on board the shuttle and took off from the wreckage-prison. However, the assassin droids 0-0-0 and BT-1 had arrived in a hijacked touring ship to capture Aphra, shooting down the escape shuttle down. The shuttle crashed back onto Accresker Jail, Aphra and Tolvan then disembarking its wreckage uninjured and fleeing the assassin droids.^[3]

Behind the scenes

The shuttle first appeared in the twenty-third issue of the 2016 comic series Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, which was written by Simon Spurrier, illustrated by Kev Walker^[1] and released on August 22, 2018.^[5]
