[SIZE=18pt]Bantha Class Carrier/Transport[/SIZE]
Intent: To create a workhorse vessel which can be configured into either an attack craft carrier or a large transport. This vessel should also have corporate, peacetime uses so the company does not have a ship useful only in war time. At the same time, this ship is a brick, easy to hit if caught, but reasonably tough as well.
Manufacturer: Fondor Drive Yards on order of Omega Pyre
Model: Carrier/Transport
Affiliation: Omega Pyre
Modularity: None
Production: Moderate
Material: Durasteel
Description: At heart Omega Pyre is a company. Thus, it is rare for ships to be created which only have use in war, as that is simply unprofitable. With this in mind the Bantha is capable of fulfilling a vital peacetime role of moving cargo, mainly raw materials, from planets under OP control to Corellia which is the great trading market for the Republic. In war though it can fill the role of a large bulk transport, capable of following the Jaeger and bringing in supplies and troops for a long operation. Alternatively it can be equipped with interceptors and bombers to support the Jaeger and other ships in battle.
The ship’s biggest weakness of course is that it is slow, hard to turn and possesses little serious firepower. It has strong shields and armour, but against anything larger than a frigate it will soon be destroyed.
Classification: Carrier/Transport
Production Line: Carrier/Transport
Role: Transporting goods in peacetime, carrying troops and supplies or attack craft in war time.

Minimum Crew: 175
Optimal Crew: 1250
