Based upon the success of the Lambda-Class Shuttle and Theta-Class Shuttle, Sienar Fleet Systems designs the Mu-Class Shuttle for long-range applications, particularly scouting and espionage. The Galactic Empire uses the Mu-Class Shuttle extensively as a scouting vessel searching for the remote, uncharted worlds where The Rebel Alliance establishes its bases. The exterior design of the Mu-Class Long Range Shuttle owes a great deal to its forebears, using two fold-out lower stabilizer wings for maneuverability, although the central fin is replaced by a series of sensor arrays to allow the crew to better perform reconnaissance duties. The cockpit is significantly redesigned to allow for a smaller crew.

The Mu-Class comes in two models. Modell has limited sleeping space for crew but provides seating for up to 24 passengers, making it best suited to short-range journeys. Model 2 better fulfills the needs of a scouting mission, including enclosed cabins and space for food stores. Because of its versatility, the Mu-Class Shuttle is used by The New Republic for years after the Battle of Endor. Its ability to ferry large groups to distant points makes it an ideal choice for outpost duty as well as exploration.

The Mu-Class Long Range Shuttle's sensors provide the system operator a +5 Equipment bonus to Perception checks and Use Computer checks made to Use Sensors.
