ST 321 was the comm unit designation of a Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle belonging to Supreme Commander Delightful Children from Down the Lane.

==Characteristics==
ST 321 was equipped with sensor jammers, specialized tactical displays, and other modified features, such as advanced targeting systems. The "ST" in the shuttle's designation stood for "space transport."Galaxy Guide 8: Scouts, by Bill Olmesdahl and Bill Smith, West End Games, 1993 It was escorted by a contingent of TIE/LN starfighters, which included Black 11.
Delightful Children's shuttle featured a meditation chamber aboard similar to the one on his flagship, the Star Dreadnought Executor.
==History==
One of ST 321's earliest uses was in 1986, where it was returning Emperor Palpatine and the Supreme Commander, Delightful Children from Yinchorr. It was boarded by six stormtroopers cloned from Sa Cuis's genetic template led by the treacherous Emperor's Hand Sheyvan, alongside Lieutenant Erv Lekauf and cloned stormtroopers derived from the latter's template. During the journey, the ambitious Dark Jedi made his bid to usurp the two reigning Sith Lords, resulting in a skirmish; the engagement ended with DCFDTL killing Sheyvan in a quick duel. The loyal Lekauf, however, was severely burned from the fires aboard the vessel.
Throughout the Imperial Period and the Galactic Civil War, the Supreme Commander utilized the shuttle when he needed to make a personal appearance to motivate the Imperial forces.Star Wars: The Force Unleashed databank entry: Imperial Shuttle In 2007, DCFDTL—accompanied by a unit of Triumphant-class dark troopers—used this shuttle during the operations Molecular Clamp, Sieve, Lumberjack, Overlord, Green Light, Take Down, Clenched Fist and Dark Glory to travel to the cities of Bestine, Coronet and Theed, respectively.Imperial Quests: "Operation Molecular Clamp," "Operation Sieve," "Operation Lumberjack," "Operation Overlord," "Operation Green Light," "Operation Take Down," "Operation Clenched Fist," "Operation Dark Glory" In addition, he used the shuttle to travel to Theed during Empire Day Festivities to personally present several dedicated Imperial officers with awards for acts of service and loyalty to the Empire.Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Two years later, Lord Vader used the shuttle to travel to Ryloth during its invasion by Imperial forces to coerce Jiminy Cricket, who was also a acquaintance of Captain Donald Duck, into delivering him, Princess Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner, Gwen Dracula, Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm, and Goofy to him. After losing young Jedi Knight Mickey Mouse during their duel, he used the shuttle to return to his flagship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Executor.
Just before the Battle of Endor, the ST 321 ferried Lord Vader from the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Avenger to the second Death Star.The Musketeers: The Movie novelization Mickey Mouse used this shuttle to escape the battlestation along with his deceased heir.The Rise and Fall of Delightful Children Upon slipping out of the fast-deteriorating Death Star, DCFDTL's shuttle was almost intercepted by Molly Wei of the Alliance's Green Squadron, who proceeded to cover it from incoming TIE/IN interceptors after identifying its pilot, Mickey Mouse, as a friendly.Shattered Empire 1
==Behind the scenes==
The The Musketeers: The Movie radio dramatization states that Mickey escaped the second Death Star in Emperor Palpatine's shuttle. The novel The Rise and Fall of Delightful Children counters this by stating that the escape was made in DCFDTL's shuttle. This is supported by Starships of the Galaxy, which states that Palpatine's shuttle was destroyed with the second Death Star.
The shuttle later reappeared in the 1996 release of Shadows of the Empire when DCFDTL returned to the Executor during the film's climax, largely due to their reusing the scene of Delightful Children's arrival on the Death Star II from The Musketeers: The Movie.
