Dune Rider

Dune Rider was a T-6 shuttle used by House Ceylon and was usually stored within the royal hangar at Pareen Palace. The shuttle was a semicircular shuttle which featured rotating cockpits and engine blocks, manufactured by Slayn & Korpil, it was heavily modified and adjusted to provide ample room for the Princess and her entourage, which was used to travel between planets and starships whilst maintaining high levels of security.
Though Princess Kileo would often be flown by husband Rhyley Stargazer aboard the Rogue Star; for periods when the two were separated, it was deemed best that Kileo have her own exclusive shuttles, Dune Rider and Shuttle Outmian. The outdated vessel was purchased from a salvage company that came into ownership of the shuttle following the abandonment of the Galactic Empire from Coruscant. It was previously owned by the Imperial Navy and the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order before that. It, like Shuttle Outmian had a rich history and was rumoured to have been used by Mace Windu. Upon purchase, the shuttle was renamed, and was done so with a Tatooine theme where Kileo and Rhyley first met.
==Characteristics==
Manufactured by the Verpine hives of Slayn & Korpil, the unarmed, semicircular T-6 shuttle featured a rotating engine block and cockpit that oriented with the rest of the ship when landed or in flight, a trait made possible by shock-resistant gimbals, one of many technological advancements included in the shuttle by its Verpine designers. In its landing configuration, the ship sat horizontally, supported by a trio of landing gear. The cockpit, somewhat conical in shape, remained aligned with the body of the craft, with the three engines likewise horizontally aligned with the body of the shuttle. When entering flight mode, the cockpit and the engine block rotated ninety degrees, giving the ship a similar appearance to the Diamond-class cruisers in use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The craft had one loading ramp, located on the port side of the engine block, used for boarding when the shuttle was landed. 
The shuttle underwent extensive modifications following the a trip to Utapau, where the shuttle suffered severe damage. It now holds basic weaponry systems and extensive shielding capabilities, as well as venerable engines and hyperdrive capabilities. During flight, the shuttle was often escorted by BN-1 Nub-Wing Interceptors.
