Lambda-class Shuttle

Lambda-class Shuttles first appeared in Return of the Jedi, and were later added to the Special Edition release of The Empire Strikes Back. Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie, and Nilo Rodis-Jamero borrowed elements from the skyhopper designed for A New Hope when refining the shuttle's appearance. Earlier versions were boxy, boat-like, or had TIE fighter-like components. Industrial Light and Magic's modelmakers made two shooting models, although CGI versions were used for the craft's Special Edition appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. The Theta-class shuttle in Revenge of the Sith was designed to appear like a predecessor to the Lambda class. A Lambda-class shuttle makes a cameo appearance during the docking sequence of Inara Serra's shuttle in "Serenity", the pilot episode of Joss Whedon's Firefly.

Came out to gather this one up after getting out off work a little early. I've been slowly picking these off out here so I can keep a daily find going. Thanks for placing.

After the first day of my new job at Schriever AFB, I decided to take some time to find a bunch of caches out this way before heading home.

I own the Ultimate Collector Series version of this ship in LEGO form. It is one of my all-time favorites.

TFTC!

It was a beautiful day so I left work early to start the three day weekend. Noticed that there was a new series out here, so I grabbed it on the way home.

Found the replacement as well. Current cache has no water-proofing. It's still in good shape...for now.
