Description

A pilot and gunner operate paired turret cannon, an aft defensive cannon, and two missile launchers. The compact repulsorlift hull maneuvers through cities, industrial districts, and surface installations where heavier transports would be impractical. Warships may carry LAAT/le units between deployments, but the gunship itself is an atmospheric vehicle rather than a spacecraft.
