MT/191 dropship

The MT/191 dropship was an assault landing craft developed by Meller & Dax, and used by the military of the Galactic Empire.

At 52.5m long, the MT/191 could carry 160 troops and 200 metric tons of cargo. It was designed for high-speed descent from orbit to the surface, and its hull was coated with VACX, which burned off during re-entry and had to be replaced before the next deployment.

The MT/191 was flown by single pilot, and armed with a single retractable laser cannon above the cockpit.

Two flights of MT/191s were to the Special Unit squadron of the Scimitar Assault Wing aboard the Star Destroyer Retribution, allowing aerial assaults to be followed up immediately by surface attacks. When not in combat use, these were used as shuttles.
