DESCRIPTION:
The Independence-Class Gunship is a highly versatile vehicle commissioned by the Republic Military to be the mainstay vessel of troop deployment. As such, it is adequately equipped with powerful armaments to contend with both aerial and ground forces while transporting troops to the drop zone. Furthermore, the Independence-Class Gunship is a prime means of transporting the Republic's tanks, walkers, and battle droids into combat; and is equipped with two pairs of clamps underneath its hull to ferry some of these vehicles. In addition, some of the droids may fit into the Gunship's cargo hold, but this limits the amount of troops the vessel can hold to 30 as opposed to its norm 90.

What is a mass driver missile launcher? I've never come across that sort of tech before.

Again, the submission here suffers a lack of focus and some erroneous measurements. Two LC-TTAWs would be the entire length of the ship. Most vehicle transports carry their payload outside of the ship, and are generally restricted to a single vehicle of any kind.

As well, the dimensions of the craft almost make it a cube-like, which would severely hamper its mobility.

Edited. It was supposed to be a Mass-Driver Cannon, but it was a typo.

Looks great now. Approved.
