Talk:Lambda-class T-4a shuttle/Legends

Correct article name
I don't believe "shuttle" should be capitalized, as it's not part of the proper name&mdash;the only part of the name that is proper is "Lambda". -- Aidje 13:05, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Time
Where do we know that the Shuttles were used around the Battle of Hoth? the X-Wing game indicates that they were around even before Yavin 62.74.5.70 20:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * X-wing also shows that A-wings were used then, which cannot be true. - TopAce
 * Technically, A-wings were in use around the time of the Battle of Yavin. Although not A-wings, they were the ship's predecesor. Which means, the shuttles could have been in use before Yavin. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:55, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Old Republic
This is the same shuttle used by the Jedi Exile to go to Telos' surfice and pole... this is older than its written here. Sitenl 11:48, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC) [] notice the differences...especially the smaller dorsal fin?JustinGann 09:16, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * check out the KOTOR II shuttle:

Proper designation?
If the shuttle from RotS is listed as a "Theta-class T-2c" shuttle shouldn't this be listed as "Lambda-class T-4a" shuttle? I'm not sure if we have any sort of official standard for these things. -- Darth Culator 22:23, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter. It's the same shuttle, after all. It would be nice to have the "official" class of the shuttle listed, though. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 23:35, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * It matters for wholeness and consistency. I would include that if accurate. --SparqMan 01:00, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Some thoughts on Lambdas
LOL, first of all the Lambda is somewhat similar to the ship in the KOTOR games, but definitely not the same, Sitenl! The ship in KOTOR was markedly different in appearance!

As for designation, T-4a was, if Iunderstand correctly, a variant of Lamba-class, there were other variants, although not to my knowledge named. I think there are at least three variants, the luxury, military, and cargo models, not sure which one is the T-4a. Assumedly, there are other Theta models besides T-2c. As for age, the Lambda-class is actually first used 19 BBY, note that it is released for use at some point after the novel Dark Lord but before the short story in the Ultimate Guide to Darth Vader, since Vader still flies a Theta in DL but flies a Lambda in UG (incorrect illustration disregarded).

 * What do you mean by "Dark Lord"? I'm assuming it's Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:11, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes.JustinGann 05:56, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to make sure, because the link leads to "Dark Lord of the Sith". Admiral J. Nebulax 12:33, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * According to the CUSWE, "T-4a" was the designation of the militarized variant built by Cygnus Spaceworks. It lists the games X-wing and TIE fighter as sources. Can anyone check this? JimRaynor55 21:16, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought T-4a was a part of the standard designation. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:29, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's the case, since the Lambda in the X-wing series has only four forward lasers. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  01:19, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Interesting. However, games get things messed up all the time. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:29, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * One more reason why LucasArts games should not be considered canon. - TopAce 16:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * At least not a high level of canon. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Dark Forces Series
What was the names of the Lambada class shuttles in Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, and other Dark Forces games?
 * Aren't they already included here? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I can think only of two in the whole games series and they are not named.MoffRebus 20:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Figures... That's very typical of a game. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
