History
Edit

It was used by a small Republic task force during the First Battle of Saleucami. Anakin Skywalker and Adi Gallia used it to board General Grievous's Separatist destroyer flagship, dropping out of hyperspace in the middle of the opposing fleets in order to reach Grievous's ship unnoticed. The vessel survived the battle and was used to transport the rescued Jedi Master Eeth Koth and the team away from the enemy ship.[3] Later in the Clone Wars, it was used by Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos to hunt down Ziro the Hutt on Nal Hutta.
Behind the scenes
Edit
The Eta-class shuttle's design was based on concept art of the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, created by Joe Johnston for Return of the Jedi.[2]
