[edit] Characteristics
Much like the MAAT gunship[1] and RaDAir speeder,[2] the Imperial dropship transport was similar in design to the Republic LAAT.[3] The dropship transport was smaller in size than its Republic predecessor.[1]
Its cockpit was elongated in a similar vein to that of the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle.[4] The internal troop bay was opened by doors on each side that folded up into the ship upon landing. It possessed two large wings, like the LAAT, and two smaller wings on the top.[1]
[edit] History
One such transport was present with the Imperial forces that occupied the planet Felucia and deployed a contingent of stormtroopers which came under assault by Felucian warriors. The shuttle had landed but the soldiers were killed by Galen Marek when he came to the world to rescue Senator Bail Organa.[1]
Another such shuttle was deployed by the Imperial garrison on Raxus Prime where it discovered Galen Marek. The stormtroopers present in it attempted to kill the Force-user, but were destroyed by the Sith apprentice.[1]
[edit] Behind the scenes
This class of shuttle did not appear in the PlayStation 2, PSP, or Wii version of the game.
