{{Quote|Let's see what this piece of junk can do.|[[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] on the ''Tydirium''|Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi}}
The '''''Tydirium''''' was a [[Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]] [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Lambda-class T-4a shuttle/Legends|''Lambda''-class shuttle]], which operated as a courier and a [[Transport/Legends|transport]] in the [[Prefsbelt system]]. It was later present at [[Outpost 327]] over [[Zhar/Legends|Zhar]], where it was captured by [[General/Legends|General]] [[Crix Madine/Legends|Crix Madine]] of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance to Restore the Republic]]. Madine hoped to use the [[Shuttle/Legends|shuttle]] and the clearance codes it carried to have a [[Endor strike team/Legends|strike team]] infiltrate the [[Endor/Legends|Forest Moon of Endor]], around which orbited a new Imperial [[battlestation]], the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]]. The strike team would then, if all went as planned, deactivate the [[Deflector shield/Legends|deflector shield]] protecting the still-under-construction [[Death Star/Legends|Death Star]].

Despite this effort, the [[Starship/Legends|ship]] itself later fell into Imperial hands, and was held at the [[Imperial Naval Academy|Prefsbelt Naval Academy]] on [[Prefsbelt IV/Legends|Prefsbelt IV]]. With Madine once again coordinating the operation, the shuttle was once again stolen, this time by [[Pilot/Legends|pilot]] [[Wedge Antilles/Legends|Wedge Antilles]]. The ''Tydirium'' was then used by [[General/Legends|General]] [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and his strike team to infiltrate the [[Moon/Legends|moon]] of Endor, as planned. His mission to deactivate the deflector shield was coordinated by General [[Brenn Tantor]], who stayed aboard the ''Tydirium'' while the rest of the team ventured out onto the moon. Following the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], in which the Death Star II was destroyed, Solo used the ''Tydirium'' to capture the Imperial [[Star Destroyer/Legends|Star Destroyer]] [[Emancipator|''Accuser'']].

==Description==
{{Quote|No, I don't think the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie.|Han Solo|Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi}}
{{Main|Lambda-class T-4a shuttle/Legends}}
The ''Tydirium'' was a standard [[Lambda-class T-4a shuttle/Legends|''Lambda''-class T-4a shuttle]]. It boasted [[Deflector shield/Legends|deflector shields]] with a 200 [[SBD]] rating, and a [[RU|hull rating]] of 66. 24 meters in length, it required a crew of four to operate, and could hold twenty passengers.<ref name="xwa" /> If needed, a crew of six could man the craft: a pilot, a copilot, a navigator, a gunner, a communications officer, and an engineer. Like all ''Lambda''-class shuttles, the ''Tydirium'' featured a tri-wing design, with a central, stationary, dorsal wing, and two folding wings on the sides. While flying, the ship's side wings would rotate into an inverted Y, and would fold upwards when landing.<ref name="negtvv" />

''Lambda''-class shuttles such as the ''Tydirium'' were among the most durable and well-defended in the Empire.<ref name="ccs" /> The ship's defensive systems included two double [[Laser cannon/Legends|laser cannons]] and two double [[Blaster cannon/Legends|blaster cannons]], in addition to a rear-mounted double blaster cannon to fend off pursuing craft. The shuttle also boasted some of the most formidable [[Deflector shield/Legends|deflector shields]] in the Imperial fleet. The shields were powered by multiple generators.<ref name="negtvv" /> To pilots who had never flown the ship before, the ''Tydirium'' was fast, maneuverable, and relatively easy to fly.<ref name="ff">{{FFCite|65|TYD1-2, ''Imperial Shuttle Tydirium''}}</ref>

==History==
{{Quote|We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle. Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator.|[[General/Legends|General]] [[Crix Madine/Legends|Crix Madine]]|audio=Madine-Imperialshuttlestolen.ogg|Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi}}
===Theft===
[[File:327inter.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Sabra]]'' in the interior of the Outpost. ''Tydirium'' can be seen on the right of the tunnel.]]
When it was first manufactured, the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] ''Lambda''-class T-4a shuttle ''Tydirium'' was used for courier and transport duties in the [[Prefsbelt system]].<ref name="ccs" /> In approximately [[4 ABY/Legends|4 ABY]], the ''Tydirium'' was stationed at [[Outpost 327]], located in the [[Zhar system]]. The shuttle was carrying a set of clearance codes that would allow users to pass the deflector shield enveloping the under-construction [[Death Star II/Legends|Death Star II]] battlestation orbiting the [[Endor/Legends|forest moon of Endor]], and land on the moon itself. This information came into the hands of [[Bothan/Legends|Bothan]] [[Bothan Spynet/Legends|spies]], who knew that the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance to Restore the Republic]] would appreciate such a luxury, as they sought to somehow destroy the Death Star II itself. The spies passed this information onto the Alliance, and the task of capturing the shuttle was assigned to [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Yamarus]] and his [[Liberty Task Force]].<ref name="xwa" />

[[General/Legends|General]] [[Crix Madine/Legends|Crix Madine]] formulated a plan as to how to retrieve the shuttle. He suggested that he lead a team of crack [[Commando/Legends|commandos]], and a skilled pilot, to infiltrate Outpost 327 and commandeer the shuttle. As the outpost was inefficiently administrated, Madine suspected that the shuttle's clearance codes would not have been updated to the current standard, and would still be usable at Endor.<ref name="sts">{{WizardsCite|url=default.asp?x=swminis/article/stealingshuttle|text=Stealing the Shuttle|int=Stealing the Shuttle|archivedate=20100701102252}}</ref> Once stolen, the shuttle was to be brought back to Yamarus' flagship, the [[Liberty/Legends|''Liberty'']]. To ferry the commandos to the outpost covertly, Yamarus selected [[Ace Azzameen/Legends|Ace Azzameen]], whose civilian [[Azzameen family|family]] transports were available for Alliance use. One of the Azzameen ships, the [[YT-1300 light freighter/Legends|YT-1300 light freighter]] ''[[Sabra]]'', would appear to be a neutral merchant ship to the Imperial customs patrols that guarded Outpost 327. The [[Mission to Zhar|mission]] was undertaken, and the commandos successfully commandeered the ''Tydirium''. As the shuttle escaped the facility, however, [[TIE/sa bomber/Legends|TIE/sa bombers]] were scrambled to destroy it. Azzameen called for reinforcements&mdash;[[Rogue Squadron/Legends|Rogue Squadron]] arrived in time to cover the ''Tydirium''{{'s}} escape. The shuttle, Rogue Squadron, and the ''Sabra'' all made it back to the ''Liberty'' safely.<ref name="xwa" />

The only element from the mission to Zhar that was used by the Alliance, however, was the clearance codes the shuttle had been carrying.<ref name="ccs" /> The ''Tydirium'' fell back into Imperial hands,<ref name="chee">{{SWBoards|url=thread.jspa?threadID=152583&start=1620|thread=Holocron continuity database questions|user=[[Leland Chee|Tasty Taste]]|nobackup=1}}</ref> and some time afterwards, the Alliance mounted another attempt to steal the ''Tydirium'', from the [[Imperial Naval Academy|Prefsbelt Naval Academy]] on [[Prefsbelt IV/Legends|Prefsbelt IV]]. Crix Madine was in charge of the [[Mission to Prefsbelt IV|mission]]. The shuttle itself was being kept on the academy's northernmost platform. [[Wedge Antilles/Legends|Wedge Antilles]] was sent to Prefsbelt IV to personally steal the shuttle&mdash;stealthily making his way to the academy, he successfully stole the craft. As he departed, Antilles was escorted by a pair of Alliance starfighters.<ref name="rl" />

===Role in the Battle of Endor===
{{Quote|Shuttle ''Tydirium'', what is your cargo and destination?|Admiral Firmus Piett|Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi}}
[[File:TyderiumCockpit.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]], [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]], [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]], [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] in the ''Tydirium'' cockpit.]]
The stolen shuttle was moved to the hangar bay of [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gial Ackbar/Legends|Ackbar's]] flagship, the [[Home One/Legends|''Home One'']] in preparation for the infiltration of Endor.<ref name="rotj" /> As part of the preparations, the ship was given a refit,<ref name="db">{{DB|starship|lambdashuttle|Imperial ''Lambda''-class shuttle|archivedate=20110524184852}}</ref> transforming it, cosmetically, from a personnel transport into a cargo shuttle.<ref name="ff" /> Additionally, a team of Madine's best security [[Slicer/Legends|slicers]] went about disguising the ship's registrations and history.<ref name="S&VC22">''[[Star Wars: The Official Starships & Vehicles Collection 22]]''</ref> [[General/Legends|General]] [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] was to lead a group of [[Endor strike team/Legends|commandos]] onto the forest moon, and destroy the [[Deflector shield generator/Legends|deflector shield generator]] which was protecting the orbiting Death Star II. Ideally, this would allow Ackbar and the [[Alliance Fleet]] to strike at the battlestation, and destroy it. The general's shuttle command crew included the [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiee]] [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]], as well as the [[Human/Legends|Humans]] [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] and [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]].<ref name="rotj" /> Placed in the cargo hold of the ship was a [[Battlefield Holographic Control Interface]], from which [[General/Legends|General]] [[Brenn Tantor]] would co-ordinate the operation.<ref name="fc">''[[Star Wars: Force Commander]]''</ref> Before departing, Skywalker noticed that the stolen clearance code they were going to use was interfering with the ship's [[transponder]]. He and Chewbacca, however, were able to resolve the problem.<ref name="rd">[[Return of the Jedi (radio)|''Return of the Jedi'' radio drama]]</ref> Solo himself piloted the shuttle, with Chewbacca serving as co-pilot. Departing the ''Home One'', Solo made a [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]] jump,<ref name="rotj" /> first stopping at an uninhabited layover system,<ref name="TotGD">''[[C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid]]''</ref> and eventually reaching the [[Endor system/Legends|Endor system]].<ref name="rotj" />

As the ''Tydirium'' approached the forest moon, it was hailed by the Imperial [[Star Dreadnought/Legends|Star Dreadnought]] [[Executor/Legends|''Executor'']], which was guarding the incomplete Death Star II.<ref name="rotj" /> The ''Executor''{{'s}} traffic officer, [[Controller/Legends|Controller]] [[Jhoff]],<ref name="rotjn">[[Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (novel)|''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi'']]</ref> demanded that the ''Tydirium'' identify itself&mdash;Solo did so, and requested that the deflector shield be deactivated, which would allow them to land on the forest moon. In turn, the ''Executor'' requested that Solo transmit the clearance code. Solo complied, but Organa was not entirely sure that the stolen codes would work. The general seemed to remain confident; however, he too was beginning to doubt the team's safety. In addition, Skywalker, an aspiring [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]], sensed through [[The Force/Legends|the Force]] that the [[Dark Lord of the Sith/Legends|Dark Lord of the Sith]], [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader]], was on the ''Executor'', but Solo dismissed the idea.<ref name="rotj" />

The ''Tydirium'' was next contacted by [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Firmus Piett/Legends|Firmus Piett]], who requested the shuttle's cargo and destination. Solo claimed that he was carrying "parts and technical crew for the forest moon." Meanwhile, on the bridge of the ''Executor'', on which Vader was indeed present, the Dark Lord had been taking a personal interest in the ''Tydirium''. He quizzed Piett as to the shuttle's code clearance, and although it had used an older code, it still checked out. Vader decided he would let the shuttle pass, as he had sensed Skywalker, his son, on board. Solo, however, had grown impatient, and suspected that the Imperials were not going to let them through. Just as he prepared to flee the system, the ''Executor'' contacted them once more, and granted them clearance. The shield was deactivated, and the ''Tydirium'' was free to land on the forest moon.<ref name="rotj" />

Solo landed the shuttle in a clearing several miles from the [[Endor shield generator bunker|Imperial shield generator]]. The team covered the craft with branches, leaves and mulch, lest it be discovered by an Imperial patrol.<ref name="rotj" /> The team then debarked, but were unable to destroy the shield generator before the arrival of the Alliance Fleet. Nonetheless, the shield generator was eventually destroyed during the ensuing [[Battle of Endor/Legends|battle]], and the Death Star II was successfully destroyed.<ref name="rotj" /> Tantor continued to operate from the hidden shuttle, when the Alliance landed reinforcements on the forest moon to help rout the remaining Imperial forces.<ref name="fc" />

===After Endor===
Although the battle was over, some remnants of the Imperial fleet at Endor remained. [[Major/Legends|Major]] [[Bren Derlin/Legends|Bren Derlin]] was left in charge of any planet-bound Alliance forces, leaving Solo and Chewbacca free to pursue other objectives. The pair performed some maintenance on the ''Tydirium'', before taking the shuttle into orbit, hoping to assist in eliminating the remainder of the Imperial force. On board were Solo's strike team, touting stolen [[Stormtrooper armor/Legends|stormtrooper armor]] they had acquired during the previous battle. Of his own volition, Solo decided that he would attempt to steal one of the surviving [[Imperial I-class Star Destroyer/Legends|''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyers]], [[Emancipator|''Accuser'']]. Using the clearance codes he had used to bypass the ''Executor'', Solo and his crew were able to successfully infiltrate the ''Accuser'', make their way to the bridge, and order the crew to evacuate. The ship then became a part of the Alliance fleet.<ref name="dgs">{{WEGCite|book=The Truce at Bakura Sourcebook|story=The Deposition of General Solo|stext=''The Deposition of General Solo''}}</ref> The shuttle continued to serve the Alliance and went through several refittings, which included the addition of two [[Turbolaser/Legends|turbolasers]].<ref name="S&VC22" /> In [[7 ABY/Legends|7 ABY]], the smuggler [[Starter]] claimed that he personally stole the ''Tydirium'' from Darth Vader himself, although few, if any, believed him.<ref name="star">{{Journal|4|Starter's Tale}}</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
The shuttle ''Tydirium'' first appeared in [[Richard Marquand]]'s [[1983]] film, [[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Star Wars'': Episode VI ''Return of the Jedi'']], written by [[Lawrence Kasdan]] and [[George Lucas]]. The story as to how the shuttle was stolen by the Rebel Alliance prior to the events of ''Return of the Jedi'' has been told in several sources, all of which conflict with one another. In the short story "[[Starter's Tale]]," published in [[1994]]'s [[Star Wars Adventure Journal 4|''Star Wars Adventure Journal'' 4]], the character of Starter claims to have stolen the shuttle by himself, but his tale is dismissed as highly fictional by other characters within the story itself. In the [[2000]] computer game ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance]]'', the player character, Ace Azzameen, must ferry a group of commandos to a space station above Zhar in order for them to capture the shuttle. The commandos then bring the shuttle back to the Alliance safely. The role-playing scenario "[[Stealing the Shuttle]]" coincides with the events of ''X-wing Alliance''. This was later contradicted in ''[[Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader]]'', released [[2001|one year later]]. In ''Rogue Leader'', the player character, Wedge Antilles, must infiltrate an Imperial academy, and steal the shuttle himself. He does so successfully, and brings the ship back to the Alliance.

When the maintainer of the [[Holocron continuity database]], [[Leland Chee]], was asked about this discrepancy, he stated that both thefts of the shuttle had occurred, and that the events of ''X-wing Alliance'' had occurred first. This meant that the Imperial forces would have to have retrieved the shuttle somehow, in order for the events of ''Rogue Leader'' to occur.<ref name="chee" /> However, in the [[2007]] sourcebook ''[[Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections]]'', it is stated that Azzameen's team stole the clearance codes for the shuttle that were used in ''Return of the Jedi'', and that Antilles himself stole the physical shuttle. This conflicts with ''X-wing Alliance'', in which the stolen shuttle is clearly identified as the ''Tydirium'' itself, with "codes" as its cargo. For the purposes of this article, all events from all sources are considered to be [[canon]]ical, with Chee's statements of the dual shuttle thefts included as well. In ''Rogue Leader'', the infiltration of the academy by Antilles can be performed in either a [[BTL Y-wing starfighter/Legends|BTL Y-wing starfighter]] or a [[T-47 airspeeder/Legends|T-47 airspeeder]].

In the article ''[[Kyle Katarn's Tale]]'', [[Abel G. Peña]] established that [[Tydirium (ore)|tydirium]] was the name of an ore in the ''Star Wars'' universe. The intention behind this was to suggest that the shuttle was named after the ore, an idea inspired by the computer game ''X-wing Alliance'', which had a shuttle bay with "tons of shuttles with names like ''Crystilium'' and ''Bandarium''."<ref name="JCF1">{{JCFcite|postnum=19437349|board=Literature|thread=Kyle Katarn's Tale (Dark Forces Articles by Abel & Jason)|user=[[Daniel Wallace|Dan Wallace]]|PTtime=[[April 28]], [[2005]] at 3:23 PM|accessdate=2013-10-24|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200717110023/https://boards.theforce.net/threads/kyle-katarns-tale-dark-forces-articles-by-abel-jason.19114424/page-10}}</ref><ref name="JCF2">{{JCFcite|postnum=19438652|board=Literature|thread=Kyle Katarn's Tale (Dark Forces Articles by Abel & Jason)|user=[[Abel G.

In the non-[[canon]] comic ''[[Tag & Bink Are Dead]]'', the ''Tydirium'' was [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin's]] personal shuttle on the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|first Death Star]]. [[Tag Greenley/Legends|Tag Greenley]] and [[Bink Otauna/Legends|Bink Otauna]] steal it to escape the battlestation and eventually bring it into the Alliance's custody.
