STRENGTHS
- Modular Dropship Pod: Detachable dropship pod facilitates in extremely quick deployment & it's thick hull protects it even when the ship is damaged.
- Engine Unit: 4 Scramjet engines helps in achieving a very high speed which helps in high maneuverability & so can evade a vast array of defence systems.

- Armaments: Only a single AG-2G Quad Laser Cannon to protect against any threats. So it needs to primarily focus on it's speed & maneuverability to counter any opposition.
- Defence: A relatively average defence compared to the fact that such a transport will be used primarily in hot zones.
DESCRIPTION
A lot of frontal battles are lost because a heavy amount of troops are lost while deploying. And Salazar learned this quite early while studying in the Silver Rest Library, when he was a Major General. He searched for transport ships which could carry a sizable chunk of troops to the front-line & be very nimble, so as to avoid enemy defence systems.
He couldn’t find any that would meet his needs, so he contracted his company, Canyon Defence Ltd. to make such a ship & after a few months of R&D, they were able to make the "Orca" Fast Assault And Strategic Transport(or FAAST) Lander. Very Fast, highly nimble & coupled with it’s Modular Dropship Pod; it delivers 5 platoons of troops along with their gears, medical droid support & MURVs.
