Type 1072 Landing Boat

design by Idiot/Savant

"The Type 1072 landing boat is the result of a cooperative design project begun in 1072 by the Imperial Naval Authority on Glisten, the Trin Planetary navy and the ConTech Shipyards. This IDP design is available for both military and liscenced combat vessel operator (CVO) use. A civillian version without the EMM and integral armament is also available."

"The Type 1072 is highly valued for its ability to conduct high-speed landing operations of a section-sized combat element, including one to two support vehicles. In a pinch, some strike group commanders have used the Type 1072 as a carrier for a 10-ton Iramda-class fighter. The VRF Gauss gun is used to provide covering fire during debarkation into hot landing zones, as well as for point defence intercept of incoming missiles."

-- Ships of the Black War, Challenge #60, p 27.

The Type 1072 is a simple, short endurance craft for delivering troops to a planetary surface. The standard model is fitted with a missile turret to allow it to serve as a launch platform, with control ideally being handed-off to an MFD-equipped mother ship. In the New Era, the missile turret is often replaced with a small laser turret, with additional power provided at the expense of cargo space.

On the ground, the troops can exit through either the airlock, the troop hatch, or the oversized vehicle ramp at the vessels rear.
