Description
The forty-meter craft fits within standard Star Destroyer hangars and carries forty-four troops with ten metric tons of equipment. Paired laser cannon engage aircraft while paired heavy repeating blasters clear the landing area. Its armor, shields, and high-speed descent profile permit repeated delivery runs where ordinary personnel shuttles would require the landing zone to be secured first.
