While Geonosian soldiers weren't typically found away from their homeworld participating in the Clone Wars, it wasn't totally unheard of. When Geonosian elites were delivered onto the battlefield, most commonly they were deployed from the Huppla Troop Transport. Adapted from a civilian model used on Geonosis as a worker caste transit ship, the Huppla Troop Transport boasted heavy armor, improved engines and modest weaponry. Capable of making short Hyperspace jumps, this craft was sometimes used for surprise attacks.

Capabilities[]

Huppla Troop Transports typically deploy Geonosian elite soldiers into battle by opening their rear bay doors and allowing the flying warriors to spring forth, providing cover fire for the transport with their plasma rifles and sonic blasters. Also, in lieu of cargo space, the ship is capable of containing two Nantex-Class Territorial Starfighters that launch from the rear bay doors. Instead of Starfighters, the ship commonly transported Geonosian LR1K Sonic Cannons.

For the civilian version of this ship, remove all weaponry, Hyperdrive, Navicomputer, reduce armor to +6, decrease Hit Points to 120, Strength to 40, increase cargo to 75 tons, lower Crew Quality to Normal, and reduce the price to 85,000 (50,000 Used).
