Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
With the change from Starships that were able to land on planets to offload troops (Such as the Acclamator-Class Assault Ships) to spacebound Star Destroyers that brought troops into orbit but no farther, the New Order needed a dedicated, armored, maneuverable landing craft to safely transport troops directly into battle. Since these landing craft needed to be carried easily aboard larger ships, the existing CR-20 Troop Carriers where not suitable. Using many of the same design elements as the Theta-Class Shuttle and Lambda-Class Shuttle, the Sentinel-Class Landing Craft was built. Lacking in comfort or long-range capability, it has plenty of space, speed, and armor for the short-range missions it excels at.
Most Star Destroyers of every class have at least a few Sentinel-Class ships, as do many Imperial garrisons. In addition to acting as troop transports, the ships can serve as air support, short-range scouts, light cargo vessels, or even Starfighter support.
