Description:
The Jabba class combat transport is designed to deliver troops into combat while providing maximum protection. The class was inspired by the hutt cartels plans to place cartel thugs directly inside rebel slave villages. The ships durability is meant to cuse the attackers to loose morale even before the ships unload troops into the frey.
The name is a tribute to the well known hutt-hero Jabba the Hutt who according to some was especially feared and well respected out of his love for using brute force to get his will done.
It can be used to deliver troops groundside or to breach capital ships hangar to deliver boarding parties.

I need you to include the the name of the author/artist for that image and/or a hyperlink to where you got it.


Also... is that a jet engine with guns on it?

At 67 meters, according to the Starship Template, this vehicle is technically a corvette.
As such, I am fine with the speed/maneuverability of 8 and 12.

It is, however, rather well armed for its size. Most Corvettes in the 100-180 range would be looking at around 8 Heavy Laser Cannons (or turbolasers) and a handful of point defense lasers and warhead launchers...
A gunship, typically around 30-60 meters long, would be fine with an armament of 6 Heavy Laser Cannons...
But we're also looking at a rather large hanger for something only 67 meters long.

The 50 troops thing is fine... But I'm going to have to have you drop the number of speeder bikes down to 4.
And I'm going to need you to lower the armament down to 6 Heavy Laser Cannons.
