Lambda Class T-4a Shuttle

Last crawled date: 2 years, 7 months ago

The Lambda-class shuttle was based on a tri-wing design with a central stationary wing flanked by a pair of folding wings. When in flight position, the wing configuration resembled an inverted Y. When landing, the lower wings folded upwards. The Lambda was designed as both a cargo and troop transport and could carry 80 tons or 20 soldiers. It also had a crew of six: a pilot, co-pilot, navigator, communications officer, gunner, and engineer. A shuttle could also be piloted by a skeleton crew consisting of a single officer during emergencies. It was also equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive since its mission profile involved traveling across the Galaxy. The Lambda was reasonably well-armed, with three double blaster cannons (one rear-mounted) and two double laser cannons. It was also protected by a powerful deflector shield, which was powered by multiple generators. A Lambda was covered by a heavily reinforced hull capable of deflecting laser fire. The shuttle class was so well armed that it was able to travel across the Galaxy without an escort, thus making it suitable for covert operations. #EMPIRE #films #GALACTIC_EMPIRE #SCIFI #SHUTTLE #SPACE #SPACESHIP #STAR_WARS
