Strengths:
- Advanced Stealth Transport/Gunship: Designed with stealth systems to transport soldiers and general equipment.
- Heavily Armed: Taking a page from the original LAATs design, the gunship is heavily armed and made to be mobile with a slightly larger frame to include more systems and the ability to seal itself for use in space.
- Independent: Capable of hyperspace travel and operating on its own if need be.
- Overly Engineered: A beast of a transport and gunship able to handle most situations and jump to hyperspace itself. While other ships might need to get out fo the hanger the gunship can begin its attack runs and boarding actions faster.
- Whammy Drive: INterdiction pulse that builds up from the engines. More focused on one shot timing to reset and confuse a navigational computer that can stop a ship from jumping to hyperspace.
- Stealthy in SPACE: Nightshadow and stealth systems can be amazing, the black plating of the ship, the tibannaX invisible emissions but... when on a planet in the light of day or flying overhead it stands out a lot more. The stealth systems are nearly useless when it is flying around in the light of day on a planet.
- Overly Engineered: Like the ancient model the Saotome LAAT is overly engineered and a beast with high performance, a very nimble design and weapons. To beef it up while serving as a primary escort and transportation. This makes the cost of manufacturing it high and maintaining it a very important aspect. The gunship is rarely seen outside of the second fleet for engagements.
- Lower Transportation Compliment: To give it better engineering and work on replacing some of the drawbacks the amount of soldiers/personnel that can be transported has been cut in half.
