History[]
Chalmun, owner of Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley, used such a vessel both as an emergency escape craft as well as a liquor transport. Whenever large freighters would orbit Tatooine, Chalmun used it to collect liquor imports for his establishment. He kept it in a small hangar at the back of the cantina, where his mechanic kept it maintained.
