rdfs:comment

The Kappa-class Shuttle was a Galactic Republic-era shuttle that possessed many features which were later incorporated into the Imperial Lambda-class Shuttle. These features include the angled cockpit area with wide viewport, a ventral debarkation hatch, and three stubby stabilization fins. During the Clone Wars, most Victory-class Star Destroyers were equipped with these craft. The Kappa-class had an angled cockpit area with wide viewport, a ventral debarkation hatch, and three stubby stabilization fins. It was designed to transport troops directly into a hot landing zone. Its blaster cannons protected the shuttle during flight, while its repeating blaster cannons cleared its destined landing area of any enemy forces, thus allowing the shuttle to establish a safe zone for its carried platoon to disembark.

The Kappa-class had an angled cockpit area with wide viewport, a ventral debarkation hatch, and three stubby stabilization fins. It was designed to transport troops directly into a hot landing zone. Its blaster cannons protected the shuttle during flight, while its repeating blaster cannons cleared its destined landing area of any enemy forces, thus allowing the shuttle to establish a safe zone for its carried platoon to disembark. The Kappa-class shuttle featured an aft vehicle bay containing either two AT-RT or AT-PT walkers. Port and starboard exit hatches from the vehicle bay allowed the walkers to disembark via two aft ramps. The walkers provided heavy firepower and armor support to ground troops landing in a combat zone. This concept saw limited employment on the battlefield since the Kappa-class shuttle was replaced with newer dropships. The Kappa-class Shuttle was a Galactic Republic-era shuttle that possessed many features which were later incorporated into the Imperial Lambda-class Shuttle. These features include the angled cockpit area with wide viewport, a ventral debarkation hatch, and three stubby stabilization fins. During the Clone Wars, most Victory-class Star Destroyers were equipped with these craft. The ship is designed to transport troops directly into a hot landing zone. Its blaster cannons protect the shuttle during flight, while its repeating blaster cannons are meant to clear the destined landing area of any enemy forces, thus allowing the shuttle to establish a safe zone for its carried platoon to disembark. The Kappa-class Shuttle features an aft vehicle bay containing two AT-PT walkers. Port and starboard exit hatches from the vehicle bay allow the AT-PT’s to disembark over low ramps. The AT-PT’s can then provide heavy firepower and armor support to ground troops landing in a combat zone. This concept saw limited employment on the battlefield since the Kappa-class Shuttle was eventually replaced with newer dropships. Although the Kappa-class has been largely replaced by the Galactic Empire with more modern shuttles and dropships, which feature greater troop capacity and capabilities, it still sees use as a secondary ship within the Imperial Navy. Modern use of the Kappa-class often sees the AT-PT vehicle bays used to contain cargo or other more conventional ground-vehicles instead.
