Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Legacy Era Campaign Guide
The Corellian Engineering Corporation's MT Dropship is The Galactic Alliance's standard means of transporting large numbers of troops and their heavy equipment and Vehicles to a planet's surface. The ship is a towering, conical craft. The bridge and command center are located at the top of the truncated cone, giving the pilots and commanders a 360o view of the area around them. Pilot stations can be configured to view out of the sides of the ship while descending, or up through the top while flying in space. Communications arrays jut out from the top of the cone, while the level below the command center is ringed with Laser Cannons and Concussion Missile Launchers.
Once on the ground, the sides of the cone's base retract to allow troops and Vehicles to disembark quickly. The ship carries 200 troops plus gear and Speeders, or 4 Huge Walkers or Speeders and up to 50 support troops.
The ship is heavily armored and shielded, but is relatively slow and requires an escort to a battle zone. It is not Hyperspace capable. It often serves as a shuttle, bringing down multiple waves of troops and Vehicles, and evacuating wounded or other personnel. It also serves as a central command post and communications center for troops on the ground.
