The Imperial Troop Transport (ITT) was a transport model produced by Ubrikkian Industries. A troop transport like the Ubrikkian-made K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transport, this version was flight-capable. It was used by the Galactic Empire and Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant during the Imperial and New Republic Eras, and can be modified to transport stormtroopers and heavy weaponry to battle zones^[7] or imperial prisoners to the prison where they would serve their sentence.^[4]

Characteristics[]

The Imperial transports featured a wedge-shaped fuselage and a forward boarding ramp. It was powered by engines and was armed with twin paired laser cannons.^[2] Its interior could be modified to hold at least 36 standing stormtroopers^[7] or at least 20 seated prisoners.^[4]

History[]

One Imperial transport deployed multiple TK stormtroopers, one of which was Ubrik Adelhard, the future Grand Moff and governor of the Anoat sector, to put down an insurrection on Abartolom.^[8]

By 9 BBY,^[9] some transports were stationed at the Galactic Empire's Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur.^[10] During the siege of Jabiim, the Imperials deployed two such transports to besiege an anti-Imperial cell known as the Hidden Path.^[7]

A modified version, called the Imperial Prison Transport^[11], was used in 5 BBY^[12] to ferry prisoners from the Niamos courthouse to the prison where they would serve their sentence. They had caged windows and specialized seats which could be magnetized to have the prisoners' shackles attached on them, and lacked the twin laser cannons on the front. One such transport was used to carry Cassian Jeron Andor to the Imperial Prison Complex on Narkina 5 following his arrest on Niamos.^[4]

One was stationed aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Tarkin's Will, and was used by rebel Pathfinder Sergeant Kes Dameron and his wife, the rebel pilot Shara Bey, to escape the Tarkin's Will and return to the rebel flagship Home One during the Battle of Panisia.^[5] In approximately 9 ABY,^[13] they were used by Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant. Two such transports participated in a battle on Tython to retrieve Grogu from Din Djarin. After a retreat was ordered, both ships took off in an attempt to flee. However, a missile launched from Boba Fett's Z-6 jetpack caused one to crash into the other, destroying both.^[2]

Legacy[]

The First Order, the successor state to the Empire, employed the AAL-1971/9.1 Troop Transports, a similar model that deployed its Stormtroopers to battle and maintain the state's order and peace. In addition, the AAL-2100/9.5 atmospheric assault lander was another successor utilized by the Final Order.
