Just a note in terms of capacity for the Beta-class, which in 'Children of the Jedi' is said as being able to hold 120 troops rather than 40. ~~Kraytkiller~~

• You sure it's the same one? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 14:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Might be as well Beta-class assault shuttle (an article is needed for it, it's now a redirect), Gamma's predecessor described in the Thrawn Trilogy & TT Sourcebook.
  • The other thing is that the Escort Transport doesn't appear in X-Wing. It appeared for the first time in TIE Fighter additional scenario packs (DOE IIRC).
  • My personal opinion is that the game producers might have tried to make a tie-in: make computer-games-Assault-Shuttle a book-Gamma, and computer-games-Escort-Transport a book-Beta. But then, in XWA, a proper-style Gamma appeared... NLoriel 09:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Are we sure that the Children of the Jedi Beta-class is different from this one? —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 12:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
      • It can be of either of these two types - info in the book is to scarce to identify the ship properly. Funny that either of Betas is too small for 120 troops to fit in. NLoriel 15:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Wait, there's two Beta-classes? —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 17:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
          • Yes, as I mentioned above. One is Beta-class Escort Transport from the computer games; the other - Beta-class Assault Shuttle from Thrawn Trilogy/Sourcebook - a direct predecessor to the Gamma-class Assault Shuttle, with modular construction (its cargo hold could be replaced with transport or spacetrooper modules; I'd have to check in the books for specific tech details). I might write an article about the second one providing I find some spare time somewhere... NLoriel 07:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
            • • Ah, I see. Let me know if you need any help; the only problem is that I don't have the Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook yet. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 14:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

What's the source for its armour? The description says it's supposed to be better than that of the ATR-6, which is listed as 142 RU. Also, what about shield and armour numbers for the Gamma-Class Assault Shuttle? I don't have XWA, but I assume it provides those.--74.220.165.154 22:34, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
