电影



The political instability surrounding the Clone Wars prompted the Republic's most important leaders to travel in well-armed conveyances, in order to thwart would be assassins and kidnappers. During his ascension to Emperor, Palpatine traveled in a distinctive tri-winged shuttle that was a harbinger of Imperial design trends to come.
克隆人战争期间，政治上的不稳定促使共和国最重要的领导人乘坐全副武装的交通工具出行，以对付可能出现的刺客和绑匪。在迈向帝位的过程中，帕尔帕廷乘坐一艘与众不同的三翼穿梭机出行，这艘飞船将引领今后帝国穿梭机设计的趋势。

The elegant ship featured an articulated wing system that deployed the wings in a splayed, lateral configuration during flight. During descent and landing, the wings folded upwards, to allow the landing skids to extend from the bottom of the craft.
这艘优雅的飞船拥有可活动的机翼系统，在飞行时，机翼侧向张开。在降落和着陆时，机翼向上收拢，让起落橇从飞船底部伸出。

Palpatine flew in this vessel during his voyage to Mustafar, to recover the ruined form of his apprentice, Darth Vader.
帕尔帕廷乘坐这艘飞船飞去穆斯塔法营救其面目全非的徒弟达斯·维德。

衍生宇宙



Crafted by Cygnus Spaceworks, the Theta-class T-2c is a well armed craft, sporting two forward-mounted quad laser cannons and an aft laser cannon. Its broad wing surfaces distributed powerful deflector shield energy, making the vessel remarkably tough.
由天鹅太空造船厂生产的“西塔级”T-2c是一种全副武装的飞船，拥有两门安装在前部的四管激光炮和一门机尾激光炮。其宽大的机翼表面分布着强大的偏导护盾能量，使这种飞船异常坚固。

Palpatine's personal shuttle underwent customization by the finest starship technicians in the galaxy. The so-called "Warthan's Wizards" installed a hyperwave reflector-based transmission and receiver rig to keep Palpatine in touch with developments across the galaxy. The vessel was also lined with sensor masks that prevented scanners from peering inside the shuttle's private cabins. Inside were a trove of sinister Sith devices and concoctions designed to bend the will of victims and strengthen Palpatine's connection to the dark side.
帕尔帕廷的私人穿梭机由银河系最优秀的星际飞船技师定制。所谓“沃森的奇才”安装了基于超波反射器的收发装置，保证帕尔帕廷在银河各地随时保持与外界的联系。这艘飞船还列装了传感屏蔽器，以防扫描设备窥探穿梭机私人舱内部。私人舱内部有一系列邪恶的西斯设备和制品，专用于征服受害者的意志，强化帕尔帕廷与黑暗面的联系。

In the early years of the Empire, talented designers at Cygnus Spaceworks were lured to the Sienar Fleet Systems corporation, where they adapted their older designs into the Lamdba-class shuttles used by Imperial officials.
帝国成立早期，才华横溢的天鹅太空造船厂设计师被挖到西纳舰队系统公司，他们在那里将自己的旧设计改装为“兰姆达级”穿梭机，供帝国官员使用。

幕后

The Emperor's shuttle was clearly designed as a harbinger to the Lambda-class shuttles seen in the original trilogy. The tri-wing design was made less angular, with a less aggressive cockpit to soften the obviousness of its role as a villain's transport. The only practical element of the shuttle constructed was its boarding ramp, which was shot against greenscreen for the scene of Emperor Palpatine emerging with Anakin Skywalker's charred body on Coruscant.
皇帝的穿梭机被明显设计为正传三部曲中“兰姆达级”穿梭机的前身。其三翼设计显得更柔和，驾驶舱更圆滑，以降低其作为反派专机的强烈定位。穿梭机的登船坡道是唯一被实际制作出来的部件，其镜头是在绿幕前拍摄的，以用于帕尔帕廷皇帝与阿纳金·天行者的烧焦身体一同抵达科洛桑的镜头。
