While being stored in the assault shuttle, the spacetroopers' power armor is constantly being recharged.

There are forty holding compartments for spacetrooper armor, enough for an entire platoon. The second section, the main body, is where the spacetroopers are carried. The first section is the command crew cockpit, where a crew of five not only controls the shuttle, but monitors its spacetroopers as well. These ships are composed of three sections. It then launches its spacetroopers to seize control of the vessel, sometimes crippling the ship beforehand with a few well-placed turbolaser shots.

In a standard operation, a Gamma-class Assault Shuttle will pull up near an enemy ship and take hold of it with either its tractor beams or power harpoon. The Gamma-class Assault Shuttle is an Imperial shuttle typically used to ferry spacetroopers into battle.
