STRENGTHS

1. Versatile Combat Role: Equipped with a diverse set of weapon systems, making it effective as a troop transport and a supporting gunship.
2. Extended Operational Time: The added refueling arm allows mid-air replenishment, reducing the need to land and increasing field operational time.
3. Enhanced Defenses: The inclusion of deflector shields provides an additional layer of protection against enemy assaults.
4. Greater Capacity: The widened frame accommodates more troops, bolstering its transport capabilities.
5. Self-Healing Armor: using alloys made from Laminanium, the ships hull can "heal" minor breaches or damages autonomously while out of combat . Enhancing their effectiveness.

WEAKNESSES

1. Prominent Target: Its enlarged size and profile make it a conspicuous target, especially for anti-air systems and small arms fire.
2. Heat Signature: The transport's high power requirements produce a significant heat signature, making it detectable to thermal tracking systems.
3. Limited Cargo: While designed to transport more troops, it sacrifices dedicated cargo space.
4. Maneuverability Limitations: The large structure and weight limit the ship's agility, impacting evasion and rapid repositioning.
5. Beyond Repair: even with laminanium if the Ships hill takes to much damage and or doesn't have time to repair the minor damage it will lose its ability to self "heal"

DESCRIPTION

The LAHT (Low Altitude Heavy Transport) is the natural evolution of the LAET/I MKII, representing the next generation of heavy-lift atmospheric support within the Lilaste Order's aerial fleet. Designed to overcome the limitations of its predecessor while preserving its battlefield versatility, the LAHT is built from the ground up to function as both a dedicated troop transport and a mobile gunship platform in contested airspace.

Engineered with a widened, reinforced hull structure composed of Fyrirdögun alloy and armored in dense Kov'dra plating, the LAHT hosts significantly increased resistance to both energy-based and kinetic weaponry. Its triple-layered frame is augmented with explosive reactive armor and a dedicated deflector shield system, allowing it to sustain heavy fire during combat insertion. Additional protection is provided by the LO-MRS1 magnetic repulsion array, and the hull itself incorporates laminanium-infused materials capable of autonomously restoring minor surface-level damage outside of active engagement. These improvements ensure the craft can remain operational through extended sorties without requiring immediate dockyard repair.

The LAHT's enlarged interior accommodates up to thirty-six fully equipped soldiers alongside two AT-AS MKII walkers, reinforcing its role as a full-spectrum deployment vessel. Troop ingress and egress are streamlined through sealed deployment hatches and rappel systems, while high-stress descent buffers and inertial dampening gyros safeguard both crew and passengers during rapid atmospheric insertions or emergency landings in high-threat zones.
