ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- N/A
- Mobile Gun Platform: The MAAG is chocked full of offensive weaponry that can make life abnormally hellish for any footsoldier unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of its fury.
- Troop Transport: The MAAG can carry a full platoon of Imperial Legionnaires into battle within its reinforced hold, with a rear-facing deployable ramp able to quickly facilitate the disembarking of soldiers.
- No Hyperdrive: Without a hyperdrive, the MAAG has to be launched from warships with reasonable hangar space. Typically this is done via Ferrata-class Corps Assault Carriers.
- Non-existant Squadron Count: MAAGs typically fly in singular groups with an optional fighter escort.
Drawing on the Old Empire's S90 MAAT and the ancient Imperial LAAT/i for inspiration, the MAAG is the definitive evolution of both combat transports rolled into a singular vehicle. Powerful and well-protected, the MAAG sports top-of-the-line weapon systems designed for superior atmospheric combat to both ferry soldiers and support Imperial ground elements during surface campaigns.
The MAAG is also equipped with several atmospheric countermeasures such as flares, chaff, and robust deflector shields that can take quite a pounding before reaching critical levels.
The interior of the MAAG is spacious enough to store forty Legionnaires, several crates of munitions, and two speeder bikes. The interior can be reconfigured to serve several different purposes ranging from cargo hauling, to mobile scientific laboratories, and anything else deemed appropriate for a situation. MAAG's versatility as an atmospheric gunship ensures its continued place as a valued asset of the Imperial Legion.
