Star Wars Ships and Vehicles
Cygnus Spaceworks
Most Cygnus-designed ships are heavily-armed shuttles, used in situations where cargo or passengers need to be well-protected. Some of those shuttles can also be used in combat, especially with their ability to carry large missile/torpedo magazines. Some larger companies, notably Sienar Fleet Systems, build less-expensive versions of Cygnus craft with fewer weapons.

Lambda-class Shuttle | |

The Lambda-class Shuttle was designed to be a multipurpose ship, and thus can be used in a variety of applications. Lambdas were used by both the Empire and Alliance/New Republic as personnel transports, cargo shuttles, and assault vessels. Some sources attribute this design to Sienar Fleet Systems.
