Imperial Shuttle "Tyderium" (parts on sprue):
Shuttle Tyderium
The Shuttle Tyderium model makes a big vehicle to park on the table. The scale is only a little smaller than the miniatures. Above is the left side of the shuttle's large top fin (with top turned to the left). In the lower left the Rebel miniature stands between the model's three human figures, Darth Vader and his two seated officers.

The Imperial shuttle is probably too much firepower to use actively in a game, but it makes a good-looking entry point and rally point for assaulting troops.

(Don't ask me why the Tyderium model comes with these figures. In Return of the Jedi Vader arrives at the second Death Star in an unnamed shuttle piloted by two officers in black. Later the Rebel commandos fly a different captured shuttle, named "Tyderium," down to the surface of Endor's moon.)
