- Troop Transport: This transport is designed for the rapid deployment of troop assets quickly on the ground in virtually any climate they might encounter on battlefields across the galaxy.
- Anti-Air: The multiple climate troop transport is equipped with a dorsal anti-air dual-barrel able to take on enemy air support on the battlefield with ease.
- No Shields: This transport is not equipped with any shields and only has reinforced armor to protect the soldiers inside.
- Limited Combat Effectiveness: The primary purpose of this vehicle is the safe transport of Sith-Imperial Legionnaires across battlefields in every potential climate they might encounter. As such it was not designed as a heavy combat support vehicle and has limited effectiveness in a firefight.
As the Sith Empire continues to grow the Sith-Imperial Legion finds itself waging war on many different, exotic battlefields across the galaxy. In war the environment could be just as dangerous as any enemy and the protection of their troops on these battlefields is of paramount importance. The Sith Empire was sorely lacking this key element on the ground a transport that could get them quickly from one location into combat, in any climate they might encounter.
The Multiple Climate Troop Transport was born.
The SI-MCTT was designed to be the ideal transport perfect for the rapid deployment of legionnaires directly from the drop site to the combat zone. The vehicle is equipped with a variety of protections to handle any climate. To provide the transport with protection two light laser cannons were installed to provide it with some defense against infantry and light armored attackers, and an anti air cannon on the roof to target any potential fighters or bombers coming in for the kill.
After a series of controlled battlefield tests the vehicle did so well, that it was immediately pressed into service where it has become a mainstay in firefights across the galaxy.
