Strengths:
Durability - The LAAV/i-class is made of very durable Quadranium Steel.
Heavy Weapons - The LAAV/i has a heavier weapons load than standard gunships for infantry support.
Weaknesses:
Reduced Maneuverability - The increased mass from the heavy armor and weapons load make the LAAV/i much more difficult to turn and evade incoming fire.
No Hyperdrive - The LAAV/i is a carrier-based craft and has no hyperdrive
Reduced Squadron Size - The LAAV/i is much heavier than most craft its size and requires twice the storage space to accommodate the increased weight
Reduced Transport capabilities - The LAAV/i is far more armored than the previous gunship classes and can not carry as much load.
Description: The LAAV/i-class is a heavily armored and armed light shuttle for use in assault missions.
History:
The LAAV/i-class is based on the old republic LAAT type assault craft. The engineering team at IFW have studied various types of the old craft and created a craft that is far more durable in battle with an armament to rival the original.
Design:
The LAAV/i-class utilizes durable Quadranium steel in the frame and armor plating to give the craft very good survivability allowing it to get its payload to its target. The LAAV/i is a bit larger than it's predecessor and far better armored. This allows it to withstand much more punishment but limits its carrying and maneuvering capabilities.
Armament:
Offensively the LAAV/i-class is equipped with four BAR-1 Autocannons which act as the crafts main weapon system. 2 IFWLS-12 Laser Cannons aid the autocannons when needed.The offensive systems are rounded out by two IFWMG12 Variable MIssile Launcher fixed to the dorsal hull of the craft , each housing twelve variable warhead-tipped missiles. These can be chosen, upon loading, from a wide variety of warheads for different mission profiles.
Complement:
The LAAV/i-class is capable of transporting 20 troopers
