During the battle, New Republic pilot Norra Wexley and former Imperial Grand Admiral Rae Sloane used a Lambda-class shuttle while tracking down Gallius Rax. During the Battle of Jakku, Lambda-class shuttles acted as evacuation shuttles from downed Imperial vessels, as well as troop transports to deliver Imperial ground forces to firefights across the surface. Although they were soon chased by TIE/IN interceptors, they escaped to a location the Empire would not expect, the Imperial capital of Coruscant, and abandoned the ship. To escape the DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station and reveal its existence, undercover Crimson Dawn agents Jon Melton and Bevelyn killed Imperial Security Bureau Major Sharin and stole her Lambda-class shuttle Scopium.

Governor Wilhuff Tarkin and his death trooper guard arrived at Landing Pad 13 of the Imperial security complex on the planet Scarif aboard a Lambda. Even the top members of the Empire's hierarchy, including Emperor Palpatine himself and his Sith apprentice Darth Vader, traveled in their own private Lambda-class T-4a shuttles with the Emperor's shuttle distinguished by a gray stripe on its nose.

The Imperial Lambda-class shuttle was the conceptual and engineering offspring of the Nu-class transport, a versatile craft that saw use during the Clone Wars. " Let's see what this piece of junk can do." ―Han Solo Ī Lambda-class shuttle takes off from Endor A well-armed vessel, the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle was equipped with two forward-facing double laser cannons, two forward-facing wing-mounted double cannons, and a retractable rear-mounted double laser cannon. Moreover, bored troopers were known to scratch their operating numbers on every available surface. ĭespite the elegance of the Lambda-class's outer design, the inside of many shuttles often reeked of stale sweat owing to the numerous perspiring stormtroopers they hauled across the galaxy. Through a switch in the cockpit, the cockpit could detach as an emergency escape pod. Additionally, in order to prove that the shuttle crew was working for the Empire, Lambda-class T-4a shuttles utilized special transponders to transmit secret codes to Star Destroyers. The cockpit of a Lambda-class shuttle could break off as an escape pod.Īlthough Lambda-class craft could be flown by a single pilot, the presence of a copilot/ navigator made it much easier, especially when traveling through hyperspace. This triangular shape was considered elegant and a departure from the Empire's usually crude designs. While in flight, the wings folded outwards for greater stabilization, while during landing procedures the wings folded inward, reducing the vessel's silhouette. It had three wings: one tall, dorsal stabilizer that remained stationary, and two lower articulated flanking wings. Measuring 20 meters in length, the Lambda-class could attain a max speed of 850 kph, and was one of the more common Imperial ships found throughout the galaxy-along with its nearly-identical counterpart, the Sentinel-class landing craft.

So, the problem with these Lambda -class shuttles, they fly fine with one, but it's much easier with a copilot… especially through hyperspace." ― Luke Skywalker, to Shara Bey Ī hyperdrive-equipped multi-purpose transport, the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle was developed by Sienar Fleet Systems for use in the Imperial Navy.
