Description
The 'Carrier-3 dropship is capable of carrying 5 legionnaires alongside the pilot.It's design was improved from it's first use during the "Great War" and the third and latest model uses the Imperium's unique impact shielding to allow it to take more fire from enemy fire.However the dropship has low offensive capability and struggles to maneuver to evade enemy fire.Much like power armor it has no protection towards powerful magics.The dropship is also popular among the citizenry of the Imperium who use it as planet-side taxi's.The cargo area is unsealed and thus Legionnaires have to rely on pressurized suits while in space.
It was named Tempest in memory of the first conflict this design was used in during the "Great War"
