The Shadow is a dedicated troop transport vehicle, similar to an [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier|Armored Personnel Carrier]]. As such it is not an offensive vehicle. It is slow and cumbersome. | The Shadow is a dedicated troop transport vehicle, similar to an [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier|Armored Personnel Carrier]]. As such it is not an offensive vehicle. It is slow and cumbersome. However, it possesses a powerful defensive plasma turret, which is used solely for defense, rather than offense. 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 armor 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 1 unmanned [[Ghost]] 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.
