The Lambda Class Shuttle is an armed courier vessel in use in the Imperial Navy as a transport craft and for Close Air Ground Support; several shuttles have also been seized by the Rebel Alliance and used in a similar fashion. It carries four passengers and has a crew of four, which takes care of piloting the vessel and manning its laser turrets. In battle, the sturdy craft can hold its own against both enemy fighters and ground units, although its wingspan makes it risky for new pilots to perform strafing runs on ground targets. Its other serious weakness is its blind zones - it can only fire on targets in front of or behind it, making it very vulnerable to attacks from the side. In addition, since it is a heavy vehicle, DEMP fire can easily cause it to lose speed and crash.
