The Phoenix was a GX1 Short Hauler used by the Galactic Republic during an attempt to negotiate with the Separatists during the Clone Wars.
History[]
The Phoenix was used by members of a diplomatic envoy to the neutral planet of Mandalore, where the talks took place. It was guarded by Senate Commandos during the negotiations.[3]
Ahsoka Tano and Lux Bonteri used the ship to escape Mandalore after Lux disrupted the peace talks and Count Dooku ordered him to be executed. Bonteri later hijacked the vessel and steered it to Carlac, where he met up with a group of Mandalorian Death Watch warriors led by Pre Vizsla, believing they would help him kill the Count.[3]
After Ahsoka and Lux attempted to stop the Mandalorians from burning a local Ming Po town, they fled in this ship and Bonteri stole a hyperdrive-equipped escape pod to continue his quest to kill Count Dooku.[3]
