Thought so too when I saw the image.

It was intentional, but you make a good point, a vehicle that can carry 20 troops or 20 metric tons, should have a higher hull strength. Not sure about the metric tonnage though. Perhaps that should be brought down to 5 metric tons. Gonna bump the hull up to 3D.

I did use wookieepedia and there isn't much information about the ship. It only appears in a few panels in the Pizzazz Star wars serial which also appeared in the UK's Star Wars Weekly.
