As such it is not an offensive vehicle. It is slow and cumbersome. Although, it possesses a powerful defensive plasma turret, however, but this is solely for defense. It is placed at it's top, the vehicle itself can be easily outmaneuvered by smaller vehicles such as the [[Warthog]] or [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]]. It's heavy armour is its best defense against attack and is the reason for its slow speed. | ||
The vehicle itself is almost always manned by an [[Elite]] driver and an [[Elite]] gunner. Shadows thus far encountered have been observed transporting unmanned [[Ghost]]s and therefore had a crew complement of only two. Infantry transport versions are typically able to carry approximately 8 passengers, though the exact number varies depending on their species. Although the transport bay is exposed, it is unknown if these passengers could lend their own firepower to the Shadow's defense. | The vehicle itself is almost always manned by an [[Elite]] driver and an [[Elite]] gunner.
