#lambda-class t-4a shuttle

IF-120 landing craft were a type of transport utilized by the Empire. Based on the design of Lambda and Sentinel-class shuttles, IF-120s were larger and bulkier than their cousins. The landing craft, after being unloaded, could be converted into a mobile command center. Often, IF-120s were intended to stand alone with advance troops as the Empire established a foothold on a planet.

Sentinel-class landing craft were a type of transport shuttle used by the Empire. Inspired by the Lambda-class, Sentinels were beefed up for military usage. With armor plating and increased carrying capacity, the landing craft were reliable transports for troops and other supplemental forces.

Kappa-class shuttles were a type of small transport used during the time of the Republic. Rather simplistic in their design and function, the Grand Army of the Republic used Kappas often, and many cruisers were loaded with a handful of the shuttles aboard. Later shuttle models (such as the Imperial Lambda) would adopt much of the Kappa’s design.

Lambda-class T-4a shuttles were Imperial transports popular during the Galactic Civil War. Equipped with shielding and hyperdrive, Lambda shuttles were well-equipped to defend themselves in combat, boasting multiple laser cannons. They required a crew of up to 6, and could transport up to 20 individuals comfortably.
