The Shadow is a dedicated troop transport, similar to an [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier|Armored Personnel Carrier]]. As such it is not an offensive vehicle. It is slow and cumbersome, but has a very fast boosting ability. Although it possesses a powerful defensive cannon the vehicle itself can be easily outmaneuvered by smaller vehicles such as the [[Warthog]] or [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]]. Its heavy armor is its best defense. | The Shadow is a dedicated troop transport, similar to an [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier|Armored Personnel Carrier]].

The vehicle itself is almost always manned by an [[Elite]] driver and the gunner is likewise emblematically an Elite. Shadows thus far encountered have been observed transporting unmanned Ghosts and therefore had a crew complement of only two. Infantry transport versions are able to carry a maximum of 8 warriors (depending on the 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 the gunner is likewise emblematically an [[Elite]].
