Leia took the vessel on several more missions while completing her Challenge of the Heart, including to the planets Chasmeene and Chal Hudda. She took the Tantive IV on her first mission, to Wobani, where she wound up evacuating 100 refugees under the pretense of hiring them as crew for the corvette, unwittingly destroying Bail's secret negotiations to relocate the suffering planet's population. When Leia Organa turned sixteen and had her Day of Demand, she was able to requisition the ship for use on relief missions. The two droids had been on a mission to prevent a shipment of T-7 ion disruptor rifles from falling into Imperial hands, and had encountered the Ghost crew in the process. In 5 BBY, the Spectres returned C-3PO and R2-D2 to Bail aboard the Tantive IV. It later assisted with the evacuation of Raada. She had R2-D2's assistance in this, as the astromech droid secretly opened one of the corvette's airlocks so Ahsoka, wearing a spacesuit, could slip inside. One year after the rise of the Galactic Empire, it was briefly broken into by Ahsoka Tano in her quest to speak with Bail. Organa took it to Toydaria in order to negotiate with King Katuunko about the possibility of using his world as a staging ground for a Republic supply mission to Ryloth. The ship was used by Bail as a mobile headquarters during his duties as the senator of Alderaan, during and after the Clone Wars.
The Tantive IV also carried four 8-passenger-capacity escape pods, in addition to eight smaller, 4-passenger-capacity ones. Between the central structure and the cockpit located at the head of the corvette was a cannon tower that protruded both upwards and downwards. Atop this tower was another affixed cannon. This cluster sported a ventral passenger entrance lift that extended onto a landing platform, from which passengers descended. Ī cluster of structures was present between the stern's eleven engines and the central section topped with four cannons. Bail Organa had a personal office aboard. Īs a vessel of state, the ship featured dining rooms for hosting state dinners, as well as conference centers suitable for negotiations with interstellar dignitaries. The interior walls of the craft's corridors and chambers were also adorned in a similar fashion, excluding the maintenance shafts lined with the escape pods, which bore bare pipes without any paneling. The starship's hull was mainly colored white, as with many CR90 corvettes, and distinctly painted with dark red lines.
