The TIE shuttle, or TIE/sh, is a variant of the basic TIE bomber / TIE boarder twin-pod starfighter dedicated for the transport of personnel. It is used to transport command level officers from ships of the fleet. Lower ranking officers typically use the TIE/sh, while flag officers usually use the larger Lambda-class shuttle. The TIE/sh has passenger space for two, plus a pilot. It can carry a metric ton of cargo if necessary. It is not built for combat, as it is not very maneuverable and only sports a single laser cannon. During the search for the Rebels around the Battle of Hoth, the Imperial Death Squadron extensively used TIE shuttles to transport face-to-face messages between ship officers.
