+ All Around Speed - Upgraded engine systems allow the six engine housings omnidirectional thrust vectoring, and additional smaller thrusters with modifications aid in maneuvering.
+ It's Got Guns - This thing doesn't make blue milk runs. A decent loadout for a small vessel, it can strafe ground targets with ease.
+ It's A Party - With a capacity for 25 dedicated troops and additional weapons, there is plenty of standing room inside the cargo bay for either organic, or droid company.
+ Can Put My Things Away - With the standing also comes numerous hardpoints to store weaponry for the soldiers inside.
+ Did I Bring That Too? - A singular, light infantry vehicle can be tethered and mag-locked to the rear of the passenger cabin, or a few speederbikes.
+ Baffled - Baffles were added to reduce the signature of the starfighter at low speeds.
- Exposed Toys - The attached light infantry vehicle, speeder bikes, or what have you, are completely exposed and susceptible to incoming fire.
- Forward Facing - Most of the weapons, and a number of the sensors are housed in the nose of the vessel.
- External Engines - The omnidirectional engine mounting system, if damaged or destroyed, can drastically change the flight qualities if not completely ground the vessel.
- That's A Lot Of Noise - The numerous thrusters and engines make this vessel readily noticeable, and can possibly disrupt any verbal communication below it.
- Stand Up Everybody! - Should a bench or additional comforts be added for the troops in the cabin, the transport number is reduced to 12 troops.
- Absolutely Baffling - High speed thrust and thrust vectoring remove the boon of the baffles.
Scrounging around through the floating mess's storage rooms after flight practice, Sasmay uncovered a dust covered drop ship that seemed in need of some tender love and upgrades. The design had fascinated her, and it's original specs had endeared it to her. After some convincing, she was allowed to have the vessel overhauled for personal use. Additional storage was placed inside the transport cabin, reducing the original capacity from 30 troopers, to 25. The faraday cage was retained while adding additional shielding along with a serious overhaul of the nose housing.
Numerous additions to the sensor package, navigation, and engine were made. One large addition being the addition of a hyperdrive which many questioned the sanity of. An attempt was made to reduce the signature of the starfighter at lower speeds, but high speed use removes the attempt at reducing the signature. The frame, hull, and cockpit materials were upscaled, reinforced, and checked before being allowed any chance at entering anything more than the test hangar.
While retaining it's ability to bring with it light armor for the troops aboard, it by no means is capable of bringing a standing army. The additional weight of a large underslung vehicle reduces the overall capabilities of the starfighter, and adds an additional safety hazard.
Even knowing all these things, and feeling there was a lot more ship beneath her than she knew, Sasmay was quite happy with the outcome of her 'day in the hangar' as she likes to put it.
