Obex / Legends The Obex was a " Nu " - class shuttle used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars . Around 21 BBY , Clone Captain CT - 7567 and Clone Commander CC - 2224 — nicknamed " Rex " and " Cody , " respectively — utilized the " Obex " as their transport during a routine inspection tour of several Republic outposts across the galaxy . The " Obex " first brought the clone officers to a tracking station on the planet Pastil , where Rex and Cody discovered that a Separatist spy droid had infiltrated the station . After the clone officers destroyed the droid with the help of the station ' s clone troopers , the " Obex " , piloted by Rex , transported the officers to Rishi Station , a listening post on the Rishi moon . However , unbeknownst to Rex and Cody , the listening post had been taken over by Separatist commando droids and , when Rex landed the " Obex " on the station ' s landing pad and disembarked from the shuttle , the two clones were ambushed by the commando droids . The clone officers hid behind crates to avoid the droids ' blaster fire ; however , the droids soon threw several thermal detonators under the " Obex " and destroyed the starship . Description . The " Obex " was a " Nu " - class attack shuttle in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars . Manufactured by Cygnus Spaceworks , the " Obex " had life support systems , six engines , a comm unit , and was hyperdrive – equipped . The " Obex " also had a cockpit large enough to contain two clone troopers in full armor . Beneath the cockpit , a boarding ramp extended downward when the " Obex " landed , allowing the pilot and passenger to exit . The shuttle ' s two wings were hinged , folding down during flight and up while landing . Partially colored red and yellow , the " Obex " was equipped with at least four offensive laser cannons , as well as multiple medium laser cannons and a double light laser cannon . The " Obex " was not armored well enough to withstand the detonation of several thermal detonators in close proximity to the shuttle . History . Around 21 BBY , during the Clone Wars , the " Obex " was used by Clone Captain CT - 7567 and Clone Commander CC - 2224 — nicknamed " Rex " and " Cody , " respectively — as their transport during a routine inspection tour of several Galactic Republic outposts staffed with rookie clone troopers across the galaxy . Rex and Cody first traveled to a tracking station on the planet Pastil . When the two clone officers left the " Obex " on the station ' s landing pad , they inspected the tracking station and discovered that a Separatist spy droid had infiltrated the installation . After destroying the spy droid with the help of the station ' s clone troopers , Rex and Cody boarded the " Obex " and left Pastil . From the passenger seat of the " Obex " , Cody sent a report to his commanding officers , Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker , regarding the successful check of the Pastil tracking station . Rex then piloted the " Obex " to Rishi Station , a listening post located on a mesa on the moon of Rishi . However , Rex and Cody were unaware that Rishi Station had secretly been invaded by the Confederacy and taken over by commando droids . When the " Obex " exited hyperspace over the Rishi moon , Cody contacted Rishi Station via the " Obex " comm unit and was greeted by a commando droid disguised in clone trooper armor . The droid attempted to forestall the inspection , but Rex and Cody , curious about the supposed clone ' s response and odd behavior , continued their approach to the listening post . Rex landed the " Obex " on the post ' s landing pad atop a large mesa and , after the two clones left the shuttle , they again encountered a commando droid dressed in clone trooper armor . Meanwhile , three rookie clone troopers at the bottom of the mesa , who had been stationed at the listening post and escaped the Separatist attack , saw the " Obex " land by the station . They realized that the Republic vessel was heading into a trap and launched a flare to warn anyone aboard the " Obex " . Back at the station , the disguised droid again tried to convince the officers to leave . However , upon sight of the warning flare in the night sky , Rex was convinced that something was amiss and blasted the droid in the head , a shot that removed its helmet and revealed the deception . Seeing that their ruse was discovered , the other commando droids , having taken defensive positions around the landing pad , began to fire at the clones . Rex and Cody were pinned down by blaster fire , which forced them to take cover behind nearby crates . In the meantime , the commando droids threw several thermal detonators under the shuttle , which destroyed the " Obex " upon detonation and temporarily stranded the officers on the moon . Rex and Cody nonetheless used the destruction of the " Obex " as cover and were able to escape the ambush by grappling down from the landing pad . Meeting up with the stations ' surviving clone troopers , the two clone officers were able to soon retake Rishi Station and eventually thwart the Confederacy ' s planned subsequent invasion of Kamino . Commanders and crew . The " Obex " was crewed by clone officers Rex and Cody during their inspection tour around 21 BBY . During the flight to the Rishi Moon , Rex piloted the shuttle while Cody handled the communications station , contacting Generals Skywalker and Kenobi , as well as Rishi Station . Behind the scenes . The " Obex " was first mentioned in the " " reference book — released July 26 , 2008 — as the " Nu " - class shuttle Rex and Cody used during their inspection tour . The " Obex " made its first appearance in the background of the first panel of " " , a webcomic posted on StarWars . com October 23 , 2008 . It later had a larger role in " Rookies , " an episode in the of the , which aired October 24 , 2008 . The " Obex " is destroyed midway through the episode . The shuttle also appears in the non - canon ical video game " " , which was released on March 22 , 2011 . The " Obex " is featured in the game ' s " General Grievous Chapter 5 - Rookies " level , playing a similar role to that in the " Rookies " episode . In the level , a LEGO version of the " Obex " lands at Rishi Station , with Rex and Cody jumping out . However , the clone officers soon confront the Separatist commando droids , and a battle ensues , during which three commando droids appear and throw thermal detonators under the " Obex " , destroying it . Although the shuttle pictured in " Mouse Hunt " has not been directly identified as the " Obex " , " The Clone Wars : The Visual Guide " confirms that Rex and Cody used the " Obex " during their inspection tour , including the flight from Pastil to Rishi . " Rookies " also states that the clone officers went directly to Rishi after their inspection of the Pastil tracking station . Due to this evidence , this article concludes that the shuttle seen in " Mouse Hunt " is indeed the " Obex " .
