Description

A four-person flight and weapons crew controls forward repeating blasters and paired double cannon during the landing run. The modular troop compartment carries forty personnel and either two light walkers or two infantry support platforms. Primary and backup hyperdrives permit independent deployment, while the hold can be reconfigured for cargo when vehicle lift is unnecessary.
