The Imperial Dropship was a transport utilized by Imperial forces. Its main purpose is to deploy troops on various points on the battlefield, and not to be a heavy-duty gunship, which was why its only weapons were two laser cannons on either side of the cockpit. The transportation vehicle seated up to five Imperial stormtroopers as well as their respective gear, but it usually only carried three stormtroopers and a Shadow Stormtrooper pilot. The pilot had the option to both land the craft in a traditional manner and wait for the troops to disembark on their own, or the pilot could detach the troop compartment, allowing the craft to exit the landing zone quicker.

- Much like the MAAT gunship and RaDAir speeder, the Imperial dropship was similar in design to the Republic LAAT. The dropship was smaller in size than its Republic predecessor. Its cockpit was elongated in a similar vein to that of the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle.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.
