Lapiz Cutter

The Lapiz Cutter was the personal Sheathipede-class shuttle of Viceroy of the Trade Federation Nute Gunray. He utilized the ship to land on conquered Cair Andros in 1971, to flee from Republic forces during the First Battle of Isengard in 1981, to visit potential Rodian ally Senator Onaconda Farr on Rodia during the same year, and to flee Minas Morgul during a Republic attack in 1984.
==History==
The Lapiz Cutter was Viceroy of the Trade Federation's Nute Gunray's personal Sheathipede-class shuttle, which he used to land on Cair Andro after it was invaded in 1971 and to escape the clone trooper attack during the First Battle of Isengard in 1981. Later that same year, Gunray used the craft to visit Senator Onaconda Farr on Rodia. During that time the shuttle was repainted with blue Separatist colors. On Rodia it was shoved into a lagoon by a Kwazel Maw.
The vessel was later recovered, and Gunray again used it to escape from Minas Morgul at the conclusion of the Battle of Minas Morgul.
