OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
* Intent: A dropship and common ship in the Galactic Republic
* Image Source: Link
* Canon Link: N/A
* Primary Source: Starship Templates LAAT
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
* Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
* Affiliation:Galactic Republic
* Model: Republic Heavy Dropship
* Production: Minor
* Material: Duraplast, durasteel, starship parts
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
* Classification: Dropship
* Length: 40 meters
* Width: 40 meters
* Height: 20 meters
* Armament: Moderate
Reflection emitter The Emitters cover the exterior of the ship approximately 2 meters from the hull. While two separate ones do the same for the exits, these are designed to extend quickly when the ship lands to around 10 meters, protecting the occupants even when they leave into the field. But must be deactivated before the troops attempt to leave its safety.
2x The Swarm missile systems on either side, one guider, three followers each. Aimed forwards. Usually concussive
12x missile launchers each side aimed forwards, usually concussive.
4x laser cannon turrets one above and one below on each wing.
1 additional camera on each side provides a better spatial awareness and battle attention.
4x laser cannons facing forwards which can swivel side to side some.
2x large missile launchers on the front.
1 laser cannon turret under the front.
* Defenses: High

Strengths:
-High armor protects crew allowing it to go out into the front of a battle and land its troops, or even participate in space combat if necessary.
-Reflection emitters serve as additional defense, particularly against physical assaults.
-Can crash into enemy vehicles and ships due to emitters without worrying about damage.
-Armament designed to take on enemy vehicles or ships in order to provide more safety for troops.
-Can be used as an assault ship after dropping troops by ramming enemy ships and providing support
-High defense against physical weapons including physically brought attacks such as missiles and rockets as they will detonate prematurely or get through off track by the emitters.
-Duraplast and durasteel hull adds to the strength of the hull so that even its weakness to laser weaponry will usually take time to destroy.
Weaknesses:
-Limited missiles can be run out of in one heavy assault.
-Troops cannot leave ship until Emitters are deactivated, as they would doubtless be seriously injured by their violent shielding.
-More vulnerable to laser weaponry than physical weaponry.
Description:
The Republic did not feel using the previous LAAT’s would be a good choice in upcoming battles, they were too open and had to many weak points. Instead they opted for a more aggressive design, making a ship using duraplast and Reflection Emitters to make it more capable of handling battle rather then just being a dropship, resulting in it being a multipurpose ship as the ships ability to take on vehicles and other ships meant it could be used in more combat scenarios.
The increased size also assisted in bringing equipment for the troops rather then just troops and their on hand equipment. Capable of dropping speeders along with them in order to maximize their ground efficiency.
Additionally it was designed to be easy to modify internally, permitting a possible base for upcoming models and a good possible sale to those outside of the Republic without having to worry about selling weapons to enemies.
Crew:
A pilot
1 copilot/gunner
2 gunners
Passengers: 30
Consumables: 1 week (more can be brought in place of passengers or cargo)
Cargo: 10x10 meters, easy to hold speeders or weapons to take through exits.
