Based off an expanded Lambda-class shuttle body, the Sentinel fills a gap created by they retirement of the older Kappa-class troop shuttle and the modular Beta-class assault shuttle. Capable of being docked in a area slightly smaller than the area needed to house two Lambdas, the Sentinel is a more combat worthy design that can carry a full platoon of infantry and a lance of scouts in one trip, then be reconfigured inside of thirty minutes to carry a dozen CAVs or pre-assembled HQ or MASH package, with a Lambda carrying the needed personnel. Having more firepower than the Lambda, the Sentinel can clear it's own LZs without waiting for TIE/gt's and Bombers to get cleared up from their defense suppression chores. This, plus the three boarding ramps that facilitate the disembarking of the troops in under one and a half minutes, makes the Sentinel perfectly designed for the high speed shock tactics of the Stormtrooper legions. For various reasons, it has been assigned to those commands with highest priority, including the Storm Commando legion, Lord Vader's fleet, Lord High Inquisitor Tremayne's ISD and the Emperor's personal flag ship, the New Order.
