Game Notes:
1. Cargo Containers: could carry up to 108 troops (~12 squads), 72 speeder bikes or up to 24 AT-STs/AT-PTs. Its total cargo capacity was 360 metric tons.
Capsule: The Imperial loader shuttle was a modified type of Sentinel-class landing craft used by the Galactic Empire.
The Imperial loader carried special containers of varrying cargo from AT-STs and other small vehicles like AT-PTs. Alternatively to carrying AT-STs, Imperial loader shuttles could also carry stormtroopers, scout troopers, and speeder bikes. The container's assault ramp was located on the side, and the landing ramp was under the cockpit. The loader shuttle would carry and drop these ground units onto the battlefield.
The shuttle could land the containers directly on the ground as well as drop them from the air. Upon approaching its target area, the shuttle would fold its wings up, release its claws to drop the container, fold its claws back up underneath itself while getting the wings back into flight mode and fly out of the combat area. Maneuvering jets were located throughout the craft.
The loader shuttle was armed with at least eight forward retractable laser cannons, a concussion missile launcher, a retractable ion cannon on the neck, and two repeating blasters next to the cockpit.
Loader shuttles were used in many battles, including the Empire's invasion of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. As the Imperial loader shuttles were unable to effectively defend themselves against Rebel fighters, they were commonly escorted into battle by a pair of TIE/LN starfighters each. |
