Imperial Assault Shuttle

Imperial assault shuttle The Imperial assault shuttle was a starship used by the Second Imperium. It may have been manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems or Cygnus Spaceworks since it resembled the Lambda-class shuttle.

The only notable distinction from the Lambda-class shuttle was the cofferdam that had been placed beneath the bridge. The outer rim of the cofferdam was lined with Corusca gems, which were used to cut through the hulls of space stations or other vessels just prior to a boarding action. As such, the shuttle was used primarily in boarding operations and thus could carry a considerable force of troops.

During the Shadow Academy/Second Imperium insurgence of 23 ABY, a modified version was used to raid GemDiver Station in Yavin and to board and capture the bulk cruiser Adamant above Coruscant.
