Acclamator-class transport drop ship

Kuat dropship Kuat dropships were large Imperial transports utilized during the Galactic Civil War.

Characteristics


These vessels were used to rapidly deploy large, mechanized forces on a greater scale than most other Imperial transports, by utilizing large elevator decks to unload multiple heavy vehicles at once. The vessels were armed.

Design-wise, the dropship resembled older models of Star Destroyers, like the Acclamator-class and the Venator-class. Unlike these vessels, the large dropship had a less aerodynamic shape, and a rather broad front compared with the straight dagger-shape of most of Kuat's other warships.

At least one variant had a rectangular area at the lower front of the vessel, presumably used to store an extra amount of vehicles on the elevator deck.

History
Several models of these dropships were utilized in large battles that had a heavy presence of armored units, such as the Battle of Hoth. During a battle in an overgrown ruined city, dropships were deployed quite close to the frontlines, yet seemed to escape most artillery fire and deploy their cargo efficiently.
