Summary
| To ferry priority personnel between ships of the Imperial fleet, the Empire used modified TIE bombers to act as shuttlecraft.The TIE shuttle, or TIE/sh, was a variant of the basic TIE bomber / TIE boarder twin-pod starfighter dedicated for the transport of personnel. It was used to transport command level officers from ships of the fleet. Lower ranking officers typically used the TIE/sh, while flag officers usually used the larger Lambda-class shuttle. The TIE/sh had passenger space for two, plus a pilot, and could carry a metric ton of cargo if necessary. It was not built for combat, as it was not very maneuverable and only sports a single laser cannon. During the search for the Rebels around the Battle of Hoth, the Imperial Death Squadron extensively used TIE shuttles to transport face-to-face messages between ship officers. | ||
