Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Pollux is a thirty-ton marine transport boat built to deliver twenty-five troops under a two-person flight crew. Six-gravity acceleration, light armor, and a beam laser provide speed and covering fire during short-range assaults or boarding operations.

The dense troop compartment leaves almost no cargo room, and the craft has only one week of endurance. It cannot jump and relies on a parent ship or local base for strategic movement, maintenance, and support.
