First forged in the Zentine Dynamics shipyards at Foerost, Ministry-class shuttles become the short-trip workhorses for the Republic after the Great Sith War. Originally commissioned to help the Chancellor’s bureaucrats tour the war-torn remains of the Republic (hence the class name). Ministry-class orbital shuttles—nicknamed “minis” by their pilots—quickly come into general use.
Lacking hyperdrives, the 20- meter-long Ministry-class orbital shuttles perform a variety of duties. They are used as shuttles by Navy capital ships, and Republic scientists at Flash point Station use versions with strong shielding in their stellar research studies.
