Special Features

When carrying cargo containers, its handling drops to -2 for light loads or -3 for heavy loads. The maximum size containers it was designed to carry are 36x16x8 meters under the sides and 20x16x8 meters on the aft. It's also possible to mount clamps to carry vehicles under each side, though it won't be able to land with anything larger than 8m tall.

The weapons are not in a factory configuration and have been retrofitted over the years. The ion cannon and triple light laser are in a single turret under the nose section. The heavy lasers are rapid fire variants (linked 1) in two remote turrets on the top of the wing sections. They can be slaved together to act as a single turret with the linked 3 property. The torpedo launcher is on the port wing.

Notes

This ship is of the Corellian heavy dropship line, filling the need before the Clone Wars for a ship that could land large cargo or vehicles into combat zones. Built to withstand combat fire and give it back if needed, the original models were designed with several turrets and launchers, as well as thick armor and heavier forward shields. It was mostly used in the outer rim with the Republic Judicial Forces or local militias. While it was a versatile ship and could move large loads into combat and take fire, the actual need for such a vehicle was scarce, despite large numbers of them having been made. A few years before the Clone Wars, the Republic began to convert them to civilian transports and sell them off.

The ship is over 50 meters long and features engines on folding pylons on the outer edges of the ship, which could fold under the heavy wings for landing or extend out for flight. The engines will shift and adjust their position to provide the ideal center of thrust based on the current configuration for asymmetric loads. It can carry cargo containers or vehicles under each side, in which case the engines fold flat against the sides of larger loads. It also has clamps for attaching a large container to the aft, between the main fuselage's engines. There's a docking port to allow access to the inside of cargo containers on either side of the ship's cargo bay and on the aft if the load is equipped for it. On the top rear of the ship is a cargo docking ring, while on the bottom it has a cargo hold and ramp, often used as a small garage or loading bay for supplies.
