I have the model of the Star Wars Imperial Lamda class shuttle craft but I
cannot find the stats in the sourcebooks. Does anyone have it? I want to
convert it for use in the Star Wars Miniatures Game as an assauly shuttle. In
the Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader rides down in one after being told by
General Vier that its safe to make his descent. Phil P.

I wonder which model this might be? The movie definitely doesn't show the
shuttle... Is this one of the action figures models, or a kit? Or are you
perhaps referring to the three-winged thingie, which would be the
Tydirium- class shuttle.

It is the shuttle used several times in Jedi - the Tydirium used
by Han et al was a Lambda class. The stats are somewhere - I think
I've seen them in one of the adventures. You could probably use the stats in
the sourcebook for a 'standard interplanetary shuttle', on page 23 (1st
Edition Star Wars Sourcebook).

There are stats for an assualt shuttle in the Imperial Sourcebook
(page 49/50), though this is something entirely different, and is
more for boarding actions than planetary assualt.

Greetings, From "Star Wars: The Galactic Empire, Ships of the Fleet": the
Imperial Shuttle is armed with three twin blaster cannon and two twin laser
cannon.
Its max speed is listed as one-half the max speed of a TIE fighter. The
kid's book listed above didn't have a carrying capacity. The fighter and
ship stats matched my X-Wing computer game so I think they're official
Lucasfilms or close.
