DESCRIPTION
The 'Crab' Class Carry-all dropship is the latest utility craft from the House Mecetti Nationalized Industries. Able to carry vehicles as large as an All Terrain Armored Transport from orbiting ships to a planet's surface, it can allso bring support troops and supplies along for the ride. Moreover, the Crab is well-armed enough to provide some fire-support for the troops and vehicles offloaded. Keeping in line with the tradition of the House Mecetti Nationalized Industries, the Crab is a simple, effective, and durable ship that does what it says on the tin.
