Federal Assault Ship

Role: Combat

Many of Core Dynamics' customers desired more specific roles for their drop-ships and the Assault Ship is a response to some of those demands. The Assault Ship is designed for a more combat intensive role than the original ship. It has improved manoeuvrability and weapon carrying capacity and placement. These additions come at the expense of smaller internals making it less versatile, but better in its specialised role.
