The H-2 executive shuttle was a starship model manufactured during the Clone Wars.
History[]
An H-2 was installed as an alternate escape route for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from his office in the Republic Executive Building. When the Executive Building was attacked by a rampant Zillo Beast, Palpatine and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Senator Padmé Amidala, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO attempted to use the ship to escape the beast. When the creature grabbed the craft in its enormous hands, Skywalker used his lightsaber to cut the ship in half, thereby breaking the beast's grip on it.[2]
Later in the war, Separatist Senator Mina Bonteri used a red-shaded H-2 shuttle to secretly transport Padmé Amidala and Padawan Ahsoka Tano from a spaceport to Bonteri's mansion on Raxus.[3]
