Next-Gen Bothan
Affiliation: ASA
Manufacturer: Heofon industries
Model: Shieldbreaker-class Dropship
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel, transparisteel
Classification: Dropship
Length: 60 m
Width: 20 m
Height: 10 m
Armament:
2 laser cannons
2 Proton Torpedo Launchers
Hangar: None (Troop Transport)
Max Squadron Count: 25 troops, 2 speeder bikes
Special Features:
Maneuverability Rating: 6
Speed Rating: 6
Hyperdrive Class: None
Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)
Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)
Description: Built to solve the ASA’s problem of a lack of an organic troop transport, the Shieldbreaker is based on Heofon’s earlier ship of the same size, the Holepunch. Basically a modified Holepunch to accommodate troops rather than supplies, the ship is resilient to incoming fire. However, to make room for excess troops and to save money, the Shieldbreaker's hyperdrive was removed, rendering it in need of a carrier to transport it to and from planets and battlegrounds.
Development Thread: Will do if needed
Intent: To provide the ASA with a troop transport (and to try out the new template)

Maneuverability Rating: 6

Hyperdrive Class: None
Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)
- Heavy Shielding: As the Shieldbreaker is derived from the Holepunch, It’s armor and shielding is impressive, rivaling most ships twice it’s size,
Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)
- Weaker systems: To compensate for the excess shielding, the Targeting and communication systems were stripped down to the basics.
- Smaller Area: The excess shielding space also leads to less room to carry troops, leading to a smaller amount of space available for loading troops in and out.
- No Hyperdrive: Because it is designed as a dropship, the Shieldbreaker has no hyperdrive and is completely reliant on other ships to get it from planet to planet.
