Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A shuttle was owned by Emperor Palpatine. It was destroyed in what looked like an attempt on his life in 1 BBY, at the order of Skosef, although it was in actuality a diversion that worked two-fold: it would remove half of the Emperor's royal guardsmen as well as his loyal stormtroopers, and it would at the same time get him paranoid enough to accept the very stormtroopers that would have ended up doing him in.
