The airspeeder later gained wide attention in 22 BBY after its apparent theft outside of 500 Republica by Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker and subsequent use in rescuing Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and pursuing Zam Wesell, Padmé Amidala's attempted assassin. After the chase, the XJ-6 was tracked down by Coruscant authorities, over 100 kilometers from its original spot in the senatorial garage. Reymet Autem, the son of a Senate Guard who worked with Greyshade, was initially charged with the theft; however, before charges could be filed, the airspeeder was returned to its spot in the lot of 500 Republica.
