- Troop Transport: The MAAG can carry a single 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's utility as an atmospheric gunship is centered on being already present on the planet itself or being launched from a Sith-Imperial warship with sufficient hangar space.
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 fifty 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.
