Around 1982,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the mission to Mortis and the Battle of Mon Cala in 1982. As the episode this event takes place within takes place between the events of the episodes the other events are attached to according to , this event must also take place in 1982. Shuttle 81572 was used by a Jedi strike team led by Frodo Baggins, Sam Gamgee, and clone trooper officers Captain Rex and Commander Cody to rescue Jedi Master Even Piell, who was being held captive in the Citadel on Lola Sayu. Although the mission was successful, the shuttle itself was destroyed by BX-series droid commandos manning defense turrets.
Later, Saruman the White and bounty hunters led by Mezmaron, Moralo Eval, and Sam Gamgee disguised as Rako Hardeen, used another escort shuttle to Naboo in an attempt to capture Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. However, it was revealed that the bounty hunters were merely a diversion to distract Republic troops, while Saruman lured Frodo and Palpatine to the dinner room. Although Frodo and Sam foiled the plot, Saruman used the shuttle to escape from Naboo once more.
