Game Notes: Constructed with special polymers and energy emission baffles the Upsilon is hard to detect with sensors (+4D opposed roll modifier to remain undetected).
Capsule: The First Order's top officers and dignitaries travel in bat-winged command shuttles, heavily guarded by TIE fighter escorts. Looking like dark birds of prey, command shuttles have formidable heavy laser cannons, but their biggest asset is their defensive capabilities. Advanced sensor suites in the upper wings monitor communications and scan for potential enemies long before they reach firing range, while the lower wings are lined with efficient shield projectors and powerful jammers. These technologies are the products of secret research conducted in the First Order's hidden shipyards and laboratories. One of thes shuttles ferries the dark side apprentice Kylo Ren from the Star Destroyer Finalizer to the forlorn desert world Jakku, in search of a secret that could allow Kylo to fulfill his destiny.
When the Empire collapsed, the Emperor's servants fled into the Unknown Regions with some of his regime's greated secrets. For years, military scout ships had explored for beyond the galactic frontier, surveying star systems and blazing hyperspace routes known only to a select few. Far from the prying eyes of the New Republic, the remnants of the Empire established new bases, shipyards, and weapons labs, and began plotting a return to power.
Upon landing, the command shuttle's wings swoop up and retract to half their in-flight height, encasing the long-range sensor arrays in the upper wings in protective armor. Poweful gears and shock springs protect both the sensors and the wing structure against damage. The lower wing's reinforced armor and potent shieldd generators protect the shuttle's crew cabin from enemy fire during takeoffs and landings, when the craft is stationary and most vulnerable to attack.

Perhaps limit Space to 4 and Maneuverability to +2 unless the wings are in "flight" configuration. |
Honestly this seems too crunchy. There are no such mechanics for the Lambda-class shuttle and its wings move around too. Same with the X-wing.
