Shuttles are larger than fighters but smaller than ships, generally having a mass in the range of 4 to 8. Like fighters, they have a fixed movement rather than using vectored movement - this is normally 12“ with no option for a 'combat move' like fighters have.

Shuttles are unarmed. Shuttles always have the ability to land on planets. Like fighters, their energy signature is low enough that they are difficult to target, and can only be hit by weapons which can target fighters. They count as heavy fighters.
