Reconnaissance Troop Transporter

The repulsorlift troop transporter, also known as Imperial troop carrier, was an armored personnel carrier built with three lookout slots on each side and usually mounting a repeating blaster on top.

In addition to the six troopers, it could carry several individuals on the inside. At the back of the Transporter was a Prisoner Immobilization Unit for detaining and taming renegade droids.



During the search for the stolen Death Star plans, search parties on Tatooine used at least one such vehicle to travel across the desert. This party would detain and question a band of Jawas travelling in a sandcrawler, before killing them and destroying their vehicle.

Several Transporters were used by Orman Tagge on Tatooine, some time later, whilst testing his brother's latest invention, the Omega Frost.

Troop carriers of this kind would also participate in the Imperial Civil War, shuttling troops around the battlefields on Coruscant.
