Unidentified Nihil shuttle

A shuttle was utilized by the Nihil pirates during the High Republic Era. In 228 BBY, the ship was present on the Gaze Electric, flagship of Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro. At Ro's request, a human Nihil used the shuttle to deliver him a tooka and several other items as he investigated a plague on the fifth moon of the planet Norisyn. After he knocked the human into the plague, Ro commed the shuttle to instruct it to return to his flagship.
==Description==
The shuttle was equipped with engines and communications systems. It had at least two upper maintenance hatches.
==History==
The shuttle was owned by the Nihil pirates during the High Republic Era. In 228 BBY, the shuttle was stationed on Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro's flagship, the Gaze Electric. That year, Ro had the Gaze travel to the fifth moon of the planet Norisyn so he could investigate a plague that had been found at a Nihil crystal farm. During his investigation, the Eye commed his secretary Thaya Ferr and instructed her to send a Nihil to his location with a tooka cat, the first three things she could put inside a bag, and some meat.
In turn, Ferr sent a human Nihil to deliver the items to Ro at the farm. The human left the Gaze aboard the shuttle and headed to the Eye's location. Not long after, he arrived at the farm underneath Ro's barge. The Eye threw the barge's ladder down to the top of the shuttle and commanded the human to come out of one of the maintenance hatches and climb up the ladder with the items he had been sent with. After handing the tooka to Ro, the Eye threw the human over the barge's rail into the plague.
Feeling nothing for what he had done to him, Ro commed the shuttle and instructed it to return to the Gaze Electric. Despite the human's attempts to escape the plague, the shuttle was gone by then, and he died the following day from the plague's effects.
==Behind the scenes==
The shuttle appeared in the 2024 novel The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, written by Tessa Gratton and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III.
