Model: Diligence Class Transport
Affiliation: Republic, Rendili, Rendili Stardrive Clients
Modularity: No
Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel, Transparisteel
Description: Another recently developed and refined design completely out of the dock from Rendili Stardrive. The new Diligence class transport is Rendili's product to get for anyone requiring the transportation of a large number of people and equipment. Coming in two variations, one with a expanded cargo bay and one without for extra passenger space, the Diligence class earns its name by utilizing an advanced sensor suite to guide during its travels and alert it to dangers such as pirates and the like. While meant as a transport for anyone's purchase, the Diligence class much like the Gallofree Transports of old can operate as military vehicles as well, able to carry a number of vehicles, soldiers, and equipment to a battle zone that its thick hull plating, meant to ensure durability and safety against pirates, can withstand the brunt of for a short time. Although unlike the Gallofree designs, the Diligence does carry a smaller cargo load.

Yeah I know it has more people onboard than a normal heavy dropship, but that is only if its used for military transport. Plus its bigger than actual heavy dropships.

The canon Gallofree model carried 100 people, and 16,000 tons. carrying 30 people and 3 vehicles, or 64 people with no vehicles, at 6,000 tons, seems very fair in comparison. Which also takes into account its 18 meters shorter than the Gallofree transport.

You've given this a classification of "transport" and made it longer than a heavy dropship.

If you want this to fit within the "heavy dropship" category and be loaded on capital ships in the standard ratio, it will need to conform to the standard template or have a development thread.

If this is just going to be travelling through hyperspace it looks about ready to go However, once again and this goes for all your submissions, please use an image credit reference that makes the source and creator of the image obvious. This field is not for another hyperlink to the image.

It'll travel through space on its own like the Gallofree. It won't sit in hanger bays, I have another choice for a heavy dropship. Its just that I was thinking this could be more independent than those like the Gallofree but also suffer from being a being target, while also being open to civilians in the freight industry.
