The Mist Hunter was a modified Byblos Drive Yards G-1A transport owned by the Gand bounty hunter Zuckuss.
The Mist Hunter was specially commissioned by a group of Gand venture capitalists led by Zuckuss himself. The vessel was originally a standard G-1A transport, though the modified vessel made use of repulsorlift technology used in the construction of combat cloud cars. The Mist Hunter was piloted by Zuckuss and his droid partner 4-LOM, with room for eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo. It was armed with twin assault lasers and a tractor beam projector.
During the Battle of Hoth, the Mist Hunter joined Death Squadron in pursuing the Rebel transports fleeing the besieged ice world. Zuckuss and 4-LOM disabled the transport Bright Hope, but, finding themselves at odds with the Empire, eventually helped the Rebels reach their secret rendezvous point. The Mist Hunter aided the Rebel cause for a time, until its pilots once more returned to their mercenary ways.
