The CR25 troop carrier, more commonly known as the Republic dropship, was a multipurpose dropship used to deploy units of clone troopers and gunships in battlefronts where the use of an Acclamator-class assault ship was deemed too impractical.
Characteristics[]
The clone commandos and Galactic Marines favored the CR25 over the CR-20, because it had more cargo space, could hold four to eight LAAT/i gunships, twelve 74-Z speeder bikes, four All Terrain Personal Transports and had ports for null gravity space debarking.
History[]
New Sith Wars[]
Odionate forces used transports visually similar to the CR25. They were used to carry gunships into battle that were visually similar to the LAAT/i gunship.[1]
Clone Wars[]
The CR25 was known as the "bigger brother" of the CR-20 troop carrier. Delta Squad traveled in a CR25 and used its debarking ports to board the captured assault ship Prosecutor.
