Description: The CSG-48, colloquially named the "Coronet Chopper" is an assault dropship developed for CorSec by Coronet Hypernautics. Designed for both war and citizen protection, the CSG-48 is a highly modular troop carrier. All of its weapons can be traded for non-lethal variants for general policing or lethal for when going up against more dangerous villains. The shuttle comes both in the CorSec police force colors along with sirens and much weaker, non-lethal options or the military variant which comes in a solid color and lacks the sirens and equipped for a full on assault. The troop bay is quite spacious and allows for CorSec personnel to comfortably sit while also having ample weapons storage and a single Force Cage for a prisoner or two. The Police variant comes with the option to convert the entire troop bay into one large cell or several cells for prisoner transport where the Defense Force variant utilizes the space used for cages as a small briefing room instead.

Extensive Troop Bay

How many passengers are we talking about here roughly? (I realize it's going to depend a little bit on its exact configuration).

[member="Jorm Kell"], that seems a little high to me. Most ships in that size category that we see seat somewhere between 20-30 people (examples: Lambda-class shuttle (20 passengers) / DX-9 Stormtrooper Transport (30 passengers)).

[member="Gir Quee"] The classic LAAT was 17M and more heavily armed and could carry 30 as well as speederbikes. Also the Lambda-class carries 20+ Its pretty in line with what canon offers. But wahtevs edited

[member="Jorm Kell"], I'm going to mention this not to single you out, but to note a reoccuring issue that I see with referencing the LAAT in starship subs.

The LAAT is not a starship.

It's an airspeeder with highly limited orbital capabilities.
