Description:
The Lyecova Jumpship is a mass-produced starship used in Imperial Troop Logistics and Support. Design to operate independently via it's own Hyperdrive, these vessels can ferry troops, vehicles, supplies, and munitions between the stars. These vessels are the workhorses of the Imperial Army Engineers.
Troop Bays can be mounted underneath the vessel to allow the jumpship to carry up to 35 troops into battle. This is the most common variant of jumpship in the Imperial fleet. Also, Cargo Mounts can be fitted underneath the vessel to allow the jumpship to carry large vehicles into combat zones. However, this can marginally decrease the jumpship's sub-space and atmospheric maneuverability rating.
The current design even features a Gunship variant should long range missions require a more offensive retrofit. However, more specific bomber designs and specialty ships always exist. This variant should be used sparingly and only by recommendation.
