Description
The ETR-3 retains the forty-trooper capacity of the ATR-6 hull while adding a dorsal equipment pod, forward laser and ion cannon, and stronger shields. Four turbolaser turrets defend the vessel from several approaches, while paired warhead launchers support attacks upon ships and stations. A seven-person crew can carry one squad of speeder bikes in place of ordinary stores.
