ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Gulfstream-class Maneuvering System
• Aspis-class Shield System

Strengths:

• Defenses - Advanced Lucerne Labs and Systems gives the dropship an edge when encountering hostiles, but that's not to say it has capable offensive abilities.

Weaknesses:

• Exposed Engines - While the capital-class engines allow the dropship to have a burst of speed, whether upwards or downward, to support momentum (Required when transporting a Bantha, and does not give momentum support), they are a separate component from the ship. Thus, they have their own limited armor and are prime targets for weapons like Ion Cannons

Description: The GLC-42 is designated as the prime transport for Galderra, originally designed solely to transport AT-SATs similar to Y-85 Titan Dropships, or more closely, the Theta-class AT-AT Barge. However, it has also been designated to mimic the functions of the C-9979 or other Infantry Transports. Within agreement from Lucerne Labs, Galderra was able to reduce its own additions to protect the Dropship while maintaining good defenses otherwise.
