The Nu-class shuttle was not used in the first battle of the Clone Wars, but was still used in 22 BBY. It could hold more cargo on the underside, and a ramp extended from the bottom to release the passengers inside. In one instance, a Republic cargo module was seen attached to the bottom of this ship. It also contained some kind of device that could grab and bring in other objects such as ships. The wings fold down when in flight and fold back up when landing, as the main part of the ship could not touch the ground when the wings were down. It also had a long-range transmitter that was used for calling vessels.Īt the "chin" of the ship, the boarding ramp was located to let off passengers and allow them to board.


It only had six cannons, two which were light cannons on the front of the cabin, and four in the head of the ship. The shuttle had thicker armor to protect the passengers and crew inside, and it had less weaponry than regular military vehicles. The Nu-class shuttle was used mainly for transport, and not for battle, which gave it different characteristics than military vessels such as cruisers and gunships.
