DESCRIPTION
The DMT-1300 was another copycat design of other medium transports around the end of the Clone Wars. It was designed with a detachable ventricle section originally intended for modular reconfiguration, allowing it to load a passenger section, a hangar bay, or cargo module. Production costs forced Dresden Manufacturing to scale back their plans and scrap their modular idea, instead going with a permanent cargo section.
Before the scrap of the idea, the DMT-1300 resembled a Low-Altitude Assault Transport with the cockpit in front, engines in back and not a lot in between.
It featured a surprisingly powerful engine and maneuvering thrusters necessary to push the ship through space, the additional weight and awkwardness of the cargo compartment providing a design challenge.
The ship was decently armed for its size and role, 2x quad light laser cannons were equipped, 1 covered the ventricle section, while the other covered the ventricle side, both used an impressive hail of laser fire to fend off light craft.
The DMT-1300 was popular with smugglers, merchants and luxury-men alike who often used the space for crew or passenger quarters. It was also used by Rebel forces as an assault shuttle. Even in the modern day it isn't an uncommon sight to see them flown by long haulers or in pirate fleets modified as well-armed raiding vessels.
Though an older design, it is relatively easy to bring up some of its systems to modern standards and get flying, though examples that haven't been refurbished and updated in some fashion are extremely rare. Some owners replace traditional cargo space with things like medical suites, communications arrays, or even weapons systems.
LEGALITY
Legal. Light freighters such as the DMT-1300 are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.
INTENT
Creating a re-skin for a friend of the standard medium transport. This is a Re-Skin of the Wayfarer-class Medium Transport, previously created by Mr. Teatime and I appreciate his hard work in creating the original.
