Description: Designed as a means of transporting large scores of soldiers, vehicles, and the equipment and supporting gear that go with them, to a battlefield on a planet's surface in quicker fashion, the Xeta Class Troop Carrier is Rendili Stardrive's newest design for the Republic military's use. Able to carry several hundred infantry and a slew of supporting vehicles in the form of artillery, tanks, speeders, and even some recon droids as well, the Xeta class is a fast and powerful vessel capable of deploying troops swiftly to the combat zones in the numbers needed to secure positions. Sacrificing much of the space for cargo and hanger capacity to sufficiently carry all the extra equipment and passengers, the Xeta Class is a streamlined vessel meant solely as a supporting ship in a military convoy for large scale invasions or evacuations.
