This model belongs to the LEGO Star Wars range and represents Emperor Palpatine’s personal shuttle. Its subject places the vehicle near the storyline involving Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker and the rise of the Empire, while remaining a vehicle focused set within the broader Star Wars theme.

It includes four named minifigures: 2-1B Medical Droid, Pearl Dark Gray, Emperor Palpatine, Light Bluish Gray Skin, Black Hands, Anakin Skywalker, Transformation, White Pupils, Darth Vader Helmet, and Clone Pilot, Open Helmet, White Head (Episode 3).
