Bantha-class assault shuttle

The Bantha-class assault shuttle, also known as an Assault Carrier, was a shuttle developed by Mon Calamari and Sullustan engineers for the New Republic during the Galactic Civil War as a response to the Sentinel-class Landing Craft. It is also more heavily armored than its Imperial counterpart and featured a battery of Golan Arms turbolasers.

It was designed to fly behind a fighter screen into target areas. Taking lots of hits while it airlifted or sent out troops and small ground vehicles. With it's large cargo capacity, just a few of these vehicles could land a strike force large enough to destroy nearly any Imperial target. The Bantha-class assault shuttle first appeared during the assault on Oradin at the Battle of Brentaal IV.
