The Delta-class DX-9 stormtrooper transport was an assault vehicle, built by Telgorn Corporation, which was designed to carry Imperial stormtroopers into battle.

History

The stormtrooper transport saw a great deal of action during the Galactic Civil War, not only for boarding operations and deploying troops into battle, but also as a personnel transport for use between starships. It also could be used to resupply bombers and repair other craft. Omega and Sigma were notable Imperial teams of DX-9s that participated in many missions.

Although designed for the Galactic Empire, many DX-9 were also often used by other factions, most notably the Rebel Alliance.

The Empire eventually developed a successor to the Delta-class, the Gamma-class ATR-6 assault transport. The larger ATR-6 lacked frontal laser cannons, instead having laser turrets to cover firing arcs that were blind spots on the DX-9. The Imperial Navy continued to use the Delta-class for most assault and boarding operations, turning to the Gamma-class if especially heavy opposition was expected. A further development was the Beta-class ETR-3 escort transport which combined the DX-9's frontal weaponry with the ATR-6's turrets.


Modifications

Behind the Scenes

In Star Wars: TIE Fighter, the DX-9 is simply known as the Transport or TRN. However, official strategy guides have referred to it as the Stormtrooper Transport to avoid confusion with other craft with similar functions, and it adopted the latter name for later titles in the series.

In Star Wars: X-wing Alliance the Aurebesh symbols "NGC" are found on the backside of the ship.
