Description: The Imperial Shuttle is a Lambda-class shuttle used by the Imperial fleet to transport cargo and passengers. Many government officials prefer them because of their combat-worthy construction and large interior space. The shuttles are outfitted with weapons, which allow them to travel without the need for military escort, thus preventing Rebels from determining whether a shuttle is transporting mere cargo or important officials. Equipped with hyperdrives, Lambda shuttles arecapable of transporting passengers or material between different fleets and star systems.

Comments: Variations exist where Darth Vader and the Royal Guard appear on different sides within the display bubble. Vader sometimes appears on the left, sometimes on the right.

Description: Using the stolen plans to pinpoint the Death Star’s weakness, Rebel forces launched a starfighter attack on the station. Entering the battle, Darth Vader piloted his own specially modified TIE fighter, the TIE Advanced x1 Prototype, which was faster, more maneuverable and more lethal than the standard TIE fighter. He managed to destroy most Rebel pilots in the battle by pursuing them in the battle station’s equatorial trench, but was forced out of the conflict when his own vessel was crippled by the Millennium Falcon.
