Crix-class diplomatic courier shuttle

right|300pxThe Crix-class diplomatic courier shuttle, also designated as DC-4a, was a diplomatic shuttle used by the Galactic Alliance and later by the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet. 
==Characteristics==
The Crix-class displayed certain characteristics of both CEC designs as well as some Mon Calamari features, given their cooperation on the design. The hulls showed the Mon Cal influence, while the interior, bridge and engines were very Corellian.[1] 
It had an armored shell with a narrow slot between the halves for the engines, cockpit and weapons. It also had a long, narrow fin mounted on the upper hull which contained powerful long-range communication arrays. The DC-4a was lightly armed and had a set of exposed light laser cannons that were controlled by the pilot. It also included a retractable turret in the lower hull that housed blaster cannons. An alternate variant of the vessel, Crix-class assault shuttle or A-2s also existed, with heavier armor, firepower and shielding.
