Kylo Ren's command shuttle is an Upsilon-class shuttle that Kylo Ren uses as transportation during the First Order–Resistance war. This shuttle is normally utilized by top officers of the First Order to travel, and it contains many defensive systems to protect its valuable passengers.
Background
The Upsilon-class shuttle has massive wings that makes it look intimidating like a bird of prey. The wings are equipped with several defensive systems. The upper ones have advanced sensors suites to scan for enemies and the lower wings have jammers and shield protectors. When landing, the wings rise and then retract, which covers the upper wings' sensors, protecting them with a thick armor.
