Description: The GU-42 droship is the standard troop deployer for The Primeval Fleet. Quick in atmosphere and durable enough to take a hit and still keep going, the GU-42 is specialized for invasions and battles. Although it lacks heavy weaponry the starship makes up for this due to its fast speeds and advanced shielding. The ship has two engine types, one for atmospheric flight and the other for space flight, the atmospheric engines are far more efficient in atmosphere and shut off in space -- whilst the space engines are less efficient they do work in atmosphere. This means the starship is much faster in atmosphere than it is in space, making it particularly vulnerable in high-altitude drops from starships which cannot enter the atmosphere.
