Altarren DS9 Drop-Ship
The Altarrens, while having no intention of launching a planetary invasion, realized the need to have a quick and efficient means by which to transport mass amounts of troops, equipment and vehicles to a planet's surface. The ship that the Altarrens decided to use in this role was the DS9 drop-ship.
The DS9 was a small landing craft that could be configured with up to four capsule containers for personnel (each carrying a platoon), vehicles, or cargo to planetary surfaces.
These capsules could be left in the landing zone for rapid extraction by either the DS9 or an RB34 light transport at a later time. Be deciding upon using these capsules, the Altarrens had created for themselves a very versatile craft.
The multi-purpose personnel and cargo capsules are utilized for drops and retrievals. The personnel capsule is equipped with embark/debark hatches and ramps located at both ends of the capsule and in the center for rapid loading and unloading. Dual locking racks on both pods permit quick and easy attachment and separation from the vessel.
Powered with high energy reaction propulsion systems, these craft were designed for high-speed delivery of combat personnel and equipment into battle zones.
