The Gamma-class Light Personnel Carrier was constructed from the same hull as the Gamma-class Assault Shuttle. However, its mission profile changed from being an Assault Shuttle to supplying planetary forces quickly. Due to its mission profile extensive internal modifications were required to make the Gamma-class hull suitable to its new role. Its hull strength was improved, however, some of its armaments were removed from the design. When its landing gear is fully extended the craft sits two metres above the ground. Personnel embark/debark from the craft from an aft facing boarding ramp, which drops down from the LPC's belly. Rebel ground trooper slang refers to these craft as 'gift boxes'.
