Craft Profile: UC-78 Raven
The Raven is the primary ground assault transport craft for all ground troops used by the Army. It can carry 18 fully geared up troops from their vessels in orbit straight down to a plant below.
The Raven features two main VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) engines on its wings and two smaller engines under its wings, making it able to land in the tightest spots and get out again as quickly as possible.
The Raven is designed to not only be able to ferry troops planet-side, it also has the ability to lock onto enemy ships and using a laser cutter located on its bottom hull, it is able to cut a hole and using an airtight extending docking airlock, deliver strike teams into enemy vessels.
The Raven’s armament is poor considering the environments it operates in, however its speed and agility are designed to compensate – meaning it should be able to steer clear of enemy fire, get its payload delivered and evacuate quickly and smoothly. There are of course some troops who flatly disagree with this.
