The '''Aquila Lander''' is a light shuttle typically used by the [[Imperial Navy]]. It is used to carry officers or other important persons from <span class="plainlinks">[http://thebeginnerslens.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">iphone photography</span>] orbit to ground level and is named because of its wing arrangement. The wings end in a feather-like design and taper back as if in imitation of the [[Aquila|sign of the Aquila]]. It is not designed as a combat vehicle, being only lightly armed with a [[Heavy Bolter]] (other variants replace the Heavy Bolter with a [[Multi-laser]] or [[Autocannon]]) for self defence, but it is well enough armoured to survive atmospheric insertion that it can protect its passengers from several hits before going down.^1-p36

The Aquila has one crewman, a pilot, in an armoured cockpit at the front of the vehicle. Twin jet engines are beside the cockpit and built within the fuselage, which <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.bestpills4weightloss.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">weight loss pills</span>]allows the vehicle to hover over its landing point. Above them is an observation dome. Sometimes Aquilas are decorated with [[purity seals]].^1-p36
