Description

These vessels specialize in supporting ground operations, and usually are associated with the delivery of troops in combat zones. They also serve in other combat support roles including combat resupply, medivac, communications, and direct/indirect fire support. Jump capability is normally restricted to the larger ship classes.

Types

  • Assault Transport: A relatively large vessel for the class, both armed and armored. They often carry organic troop transports and provide standoff combat support.
  • Assault Shuttle: A smaller vessel with limited troop capacity. Although it is armored, its weapon suite is much more limited.
