The Zeta-class Long-Range Shuttle is a block shaped transport which features sizable external port and starboard fuel "tanks", which contain additional fuel cells and life-support components for exceptionally extended journeys. Since these tanks are modular in nature, they can be quickly swapped with new ones during urgent trips. It is possible to hide a dozen Stormtroopers within the shuttle's confines; most likely in one of the modular "tanks", as Grand Admiral Thrawn did to turn the tables on the Ebruchi who had shown their treachery against the Empire when they captured a Zeta Shuttle carrying Commander Parck. Originally included as part of the VSD's complement, this shuttle has since been widely supplanted throughout the Imperial Fleet by the newer, more versatile Lambda-class Shuttle. In conclusion, these personnel transports were designed with speed and distance in mind rather than for combat manoeuvres. |
