The Delta Class Dx-9 Stormtrooper Transport features very strong shielding, particularly in the forward section. This craft existed at least a half a year before the Battle of Yavin (and most likely considerably earlier). It is designed to take over enemy ships. Employing a universal docking mechanism the Dx-9 can attach itself to most ships or it can bore its own hole through the hulls of most enemy vessels. This small two engine craft is heavily armed and is a dangerous threat to the enemies of the Empire. In short, these craft are designed to carry Stormtroopers into battle and assist in boarding operations. Though it is slow, it is surprisingly manoeuvrable. Its hyperspace capability and weapons makes this craft a versatile and potent weapon capable of surprise attacks and ambushes. When employed in combination with the Assault Gunboat, the Stormtrooper Transport is unmatched. Located behind the proton torpedo launchers are the engines. These craft are also capable of mine laying, transferring pilots to their starfighters or reloading starfighters of depleted warheads. Unfortunately, the Rebels also make use of these craft as they have captured them.
