Description
The repulsorlift gunship carries thirty troops behind overlapping laser, composite-beam, and mass-driver coverage. Side bays permit rapid embarkation while dorsal missile launchers and forward cannon suppress landing zones and armored opposition. Landing ships and other carriers transport LAAT/i formations between worlds; the gunships themselves operate within planetary atmospheres.
