Affiliation: Fair-Usage
Availability: Military, but yeah like anyone can use this nifty shit.
Manufacturer: Rothana Heavy Engineering
Model: MRAT/i (Multi-Role Armoured Transport)
Intent: I found there to be a great lack of decent military dropships for this era, both on the site and in both Canon and Legends. So, I decided I'd make a shuttle that was dedicated military hardware for any faction that can feasibly acquire it. Plus I wanted to make an awesome dropship cuz I found this sick-ass art for one and it fits perfectly and yeah we just need this trust me.
Dimensions:
- Length: 20 meters
- Wingspan: 17 meters
Class: Dropship/Shuttle/Transport> SpecForce: 23 meters
- Height: 4 meters (not including upper winglets)- Wingspan: 17 meters
Crew:
- 1 Pilot
- 1 Co-Pilot
- 1 Co-Pilot
Capacity:
- Base Model: 20 Passengers
- SpecForce: 10 Passengers
- SpecForce: 10 Passengers
Armament:
- Base Model:
> 2 Medium Laser Cannons (Nose)
> 2 Medium Laser Cannons (Wingtips)
> 2 Light Repeaters (Fuselage)
- SpecForce:> 2 Medium Laser Cannons (Wingtips)
> 2 Light Repeaters (Fuselage)
> 2 Medium Laser Cannons (Nose)
Equipment:
- Life Support Systems
- Ejector Seats
- Targeting Countermeasures (Chaff, Flares, Electronic Countermeasures)
- Deflector Shielding
- Navigational Computer
- Communications Systems (Short-range BattleNet Communications, Hyperwave Buoy Communicator)
- Military-Grade Sensors
- Emergency Medical Kit
- SEERS Kit (Emergency Signal Flares, Locator Distress Beacon, Survival Gear)
- Emergency Repair Kit
- Inertial Dampeners
- 1 Week of Consumables
- Targeting Computer
- Spotlights
- Mint Air Freshners

Hyperdrive Rating:
- Base Model: None
- SpecForce Model: Class 3
Maneuverability:- SpecForce Model: Class 3
In space, it has a decent maneuvering ability, and it flies like a brick during atmospheric entry (but what doesn't?). In atmosphere, the ship is fast enough to execute evasive maneuvers when under fire, as well as get into air-to-air engagements with other hostile gunships.
Description:
The Multi-Role Assault Transport (MRAT/i) is Rothana’s newest design in terms of battlefield boot delivery.
Able to put boots on the ground at a moment’s notice, the ship comes with an impressive level of armament and shielding for its size. The shielding and armour allow this shuttle to sustain high volumes of small arms fire, but dedicated man-portable weapons have chance of taking it down within a couple direct hits. Hostile aircraft must know where to hit to bring it down quickly, normally the usual places like engines and major repulsordrives.
Able to carry 20 troopers of humanoid size, while it may not be the biggest transport, it has enough speed to outrun almost all others, as well as enough guns to blow them clean out of the sky. The ship also comes in a SpecForce model, which features hull plating coated in Reflec and a class 3 hyperdrive for long range missions.
The ship has a high level of modularity, with numerous configurations of the base model. One version removes the troop bay and replaces it with mag-clamps for carrying vehicles into combat. A gunship variant features two blaster cannons or heavy repeaters on door turrets and has concussion missile/proton torpedo tubes mounted under the wings. Other weapons and configurations can be devised by anyone mechanic that works on the MRAT, so the modularity is only limited by a commander’s imagination.
The blast doors of the MRAT/i were designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Able to maintain an atmospheric seal and insulate the heat from atmospheric entry, the doors will collapse towards the back of the shuttle in a telescopic fashion once sensors confirm that the external environment is within a barometric and temperature ‘safe-zone’.
In summary, the MRAT/i is a well-rounded, effective, and economically efficient combat shuttle, capable of rapid troop deployment with force to support. Most any legitimate military group in the galaxy will try to have a few of these in their inventory somewhere.
