The Y-4 Raptor was a military transport shuttle manufactured by Incom Corporation. The craft was used by the Galactic Empire to rapidly deploy its troops and cargo to the planet's surface. However, it was lightly armed for basic self-defense, thus has to be supported by TIE Fighter squadrons. It can carry an entire platoon of troops and 300 metric tons of cargo, which were unloaded from three separate folding assault ramps on the port side. Though used as an Imperial transport (albeit less often than the Sentinel-class landing craft), it was most famously used by the Rebel Alliance during the escape from Fest, where it was stationed at the rendezvous point; three captured AT-PTs escaped aboard the transport.
