34GII was an Emergency Dispatch Ship, that in 2178, was dispatched by the hyperspace cruiser Stardust to deliver a shipment of kala fever vaccines to the planet Woden. On that occasion, the ship's pilot, Barton discovered the teenaged stowaway, Marilyn Lee Cross, had snuck aboard the ship completely unaware of its limitations. After ensuring there were no available alternatives, Barton was forced to vent Cross from the airlock to ensure the ship could land on the planet and deliver the vaccines.
