Kylo Ren’s Shuttle

Kylo Ren is a complex man and a complex man needs more than one type of ship. While the TIE Silencer is Ren’s attack vessel, his personal transport shuttle also is one of the cooler looking ships in the sequel trilogy.

Just like the other ships on this list, Kylo Ren’s shuttle’s design borrows heavily from the original trilogy. It is almost an inverted version of the Lamda class T-4 shuttle from Return of the Jedi. While that ship features wings that fold out to the bottom, Ren’s shuttle has wings that fold toward the top.

The ship also differs as it is painted black to replicate the dark nature of its commander. Like his TIE Silencer, it also has a red cockpit to add to that intimidation factor. The ship is one of the first we see in the sequel trilogy, and while it isn’t a unique design, it is definitely an impressive one that fits right in line with other ships we have seen in the Star Wars galaxy.
