Assault shuttles were armed shuttles used by the Galactic Empire and New Republic for landing infantry units. An assault shuttle would typically contain one platoon consisting of forty stormtroopers. Assault shuttles were used by Imperial agents when Morgan Katarn was killed on Sulon, and would also be used to land troops during the Battle of Fort Nowhere.
