Description

A reinforced hull, folding wings, heavy landing gear, and multiple weapon mounts allow the Sentinel to descend under fire and support its passengers during disembarkation. The central hold can be arranged for infantry, compact vehicles, cargo, or mission equipment. Forward and side weapons cover the approach and landing perimeter, while its hyperdrive permits independent movement when a carrier is unavailable.

Sentinel loader shuttle

StatusActive
The loader conversion replaces troop accommodations with cargo-handling equipment and an external container interface.
Reinforced repulsors, landing gear, tractor equipment, and a ventral cargo attachment allow the Sentinel hull to move standardized containers between depots, ships, and planetary surfaces.
