TSOK stated gunner needs, but stated total crew was 15 but made no mention of gunners in that field <Older WEG books combine gunners and crew when stating a ship's crew>.
The Law-class Light Patrol Craft is one of the smallest patrol craft seeing service with the Galactic Empire and is the primary craft employed by Sector Ranger Teams. This design gained little acceptance in its intended role as a scout ship, currently however, it serves as a system customs and patrol ship in several sectors. This design was Kuat Drive Yard's first attempt at creating a system patrol craft, and it was introduced for service several years before the Battle of Yavin.
