Description: In light of the need to deploy troops swiftly, often without having them arrive on a battlefield aboard a capital ship, Ignus Industries has designed the MAAC/iv. The ship is hyperdrive capable, can enter the battlefield alongside of the main fleet, and deploy troops to the planet under the cover of the big guns, without having to wait for the main fleet forces to arrive at the world. The ship is lightly armed in order to improve its speed given its cargo capacity, and retaliates with slightly above average defenses. It's a capable dropship/transport and is destined to see much use by the Ascendancy and in rapid deployment actions by Horizon PMC.
