Operational profile

Recognition and use

This assault transport carries sixty-four marines, their officers, and a seventy-ton vehicle package in a full maintenance hangar. Briefing, medical, armory, powered-armor maintenance, workshop, recreation, and emergency-berth facilities support an embarked unit across a two-parsec deployment.

Three laser turrets, two particle-beam turrets, a sandcaster, and six point-defense lasers give it strong close protection, but almost no general cargo remains. The ship is designed to deliver a formed force and its equipment; it is costly and inefficient when used as an ordinary transport.
