Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

I don't know, but this guy had to get the specs from somewhere.

Re: Escort Shuttle - Heavily Armed Troop Transport

I have come across several sites with information on the Escort Shuttle in my effort to research it, but most of them have conflicting information.  The escort shuttle first appeared in the "official
EU in "X-Wing" I believe.  If it wasn't in "X-Wing", it was in "TIE Fighter" for sure.  Soyes it is an "official" EU vehicle.  As for the specs on how it lands, I can't find any anywhere.  My thought is that it might need its own docking platform, or it has a rather strange landing gear system.  Another possibility is that it might be just designed to land on racks like the TIE fighters do.

My moneys either on the racks, or that it just hovers using repulsorlifts and the ramp extends past the wings.

Anything is possible, but I don't think it used a rack, maybe the landingear is in the body, just like with an X-wing ....

The shuttle in ROTS is the Theta-class Shuttle. The Direct predecesser to the Lambda-class Shuttle.

But it would have to extend a long way, since it doesn't seem like the wings fold.
