Any shuttle with the "Delta" designation is a fast, light transport. The JV-7 is no exception. It has two ion engines and three adjustable stbilizer wings. It was designed to carry priority transport such as VIPs; high ranking officers and diplomats and came in use around the Battle of Hoth. The rear-mounted turret has proved a nasty surprise for many pursuing craft, the turbolaser is the same weapon as those mounted standard on the CR90-class corvette, which although small is a capital ship. This military version of the shuttle is much more heavily armoured than the civilan version which only has titanium plating (35 RU). The civilian model is in limited use by pirates and the rebels have acquired some military shuttles.
