The TIE/RP Reaper Attack Lander Platoon is a troop transport unit that consists of eight TIE/RP Reaper Attack Landers along with eight pilots, eight technicians, and four mechanics to operate and maintain them. Bearing all the hallmarks of the TIE design, it is specifically created to ferry elite troops to flashpoints on the battlefield for the Galactic Empire. Operated by the pilots in the platoon, each can carry 10 passengers allowing the platoon to carry 80 soldiers or passengers. They are also equipped with two laser cannons, allowing them to engage in more dangerous or 'hot' landings.
