Hemlock's shuttle

Canon Linked from 2 articles

Hemlock's shuttle was a Rho-class transport shuttle that transported Imperial Doctor Royce Hemlock to the Imperial summit on Eriadu during or after 18 BBY. After a Venator-class Star Destroyer arrived above Eriadu, Hemlock's shuttle was escorted by three Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighters to Tarkin's Compound for the summit. Unbeknownst to Hemlock, Wilhuff Tarkin and everyone else in the compound, Clone Force 99 infiltrated the heavily fortified facility, so they could plant a homing beacon on the shuttle, in hopes of tracking the ship to its base and rescue their brother Crosshair. Simultaneously, Saw Gerrera and the Partisans also infiltrated the compound with the desire to destroy the compound and kill all the Imperials stationed there. After evading several TK stormtroopers, Omega successfully installed the homing beacon on Hemlock's shuttle. However, the clones were later forced to flee the compound via the Raven's Peak sky train. The shuttle was soon destroyed along with all the other shuttles in the hangar, when Gerrera detonated several thermal explosives.

Hemlock's shuttle was gray and unlike most Rho-class transport shuttles, it lacked the ventral cargo pod.
