Summary

The Lambda-class T-4a shuttle, also known as the Imperial Shuttle, was a standard light utility craft in common with the Imperial military as a transport for troops and high-ranking individuals. Sienar Fleet Systems Lambda-class shuttle was based on a tri-wing design with a central stationary wing flanked by a pair of folding wings. When in flight position, the wing configuration resembled an inverted Y. When landing, the lower wings folded upwards. This design feature was implemented as a means to protect the ship's occupants as it touches down. The Lambda was designed as both a cargo and troop transport and could carry 80 metric tons or 20 soldiers. It had a crew of six: a pilot, co-pilot, navigator, communications officer, gunner, and engineer. A shuttle could be piloted by a skeleton crew consisting of a single pilot during emergencies. It was also equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive since its mission profile involved traveling across the galaxy. The cockpit was at the front of the craft, and the boarding ramp was behind and under it. Its main drive units were capable of reaching speeds of 850 kilometers per hour inside atmospheres, or 50 MGLT. Cooling intakes were on the fuselage, and formation lights were at the end of the wings.
