Rescue Riker was a Lambda-class shuttle used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Following a warning from Ordnance and Supply Command about a shortage of astromech droids, Rescue Riker was dispatched under escort from R-22 Spearheads to capture the BFF-1 bulk freighter Ars Opus which had broken down in the Rudrig system with a cargo of R2-series astromech droids.
