Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Clone Wars Campaign Guide
The Commerce Guild's entry in the rapid-deployment arena is the Diamond-Class Cruiser. Designed to deliver thousands of Spider Droids quickly and efficiently to ground-based battlefields- it is a considerably more effective landing craft than the Trade Federation's C-9979. Although lightly armed, the Diamond-Class Cruiser's ability to field a dozen OG-9 Homing Spider Droids (And their accompanying Dwarf Spider Droids) in less than a minute ensures that the vessel spends very little time on the ground- and most of that time it is surrounded by deadly OG-9 Homing Spider Droids.
The president of the Commerce Guild, Shu Mai, uses a Diamond-Class Cruiser as her personal transport and as the flagship of the Commerce Guild fleet.
