History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Fearless class is an interface craft primarily designed to carry vehicles and equipment between close orbit and a worlds surface. It is also used as an in-system transport, carrying equipment and supplies to secondary worlds within a system. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
Assault Transports may be deployed by vessels such as the Marius class Ship Transporter.
