Yolanda Troop Transport

design by Alvin Plummer

The TL F 50-disp ton Yolanda Troop Transport is taken from Classic Trav's 'Fighting ships', and altered beyond recognition. The armour have been pumped up to 100 levels, sensors and EM masking has been added, and an optional 'heavy anti-personnel' laser put in place of the missile turrent. Finally, 2 sandcasters and 2 fusion guns have been added to the transport.

If the troops are being sent to a 'low-threat' landing zone, the lasers, sandcasters and additional fusion plant is removed, allowing 100 troops to be sent rather than fifty.

Company captains may decide to use the large cargo hatches: in hostile atmospheres, all must be suited up/masked, as this immediately spoil's the transport's atmosphere. It takes 4 hours to repurify the atmosphere.]
