			== Overview ==
			The Descent-Class Drop Shuttle is the Imperial Republic's primary vessel for rapid troop and vehicle deployment from capital ships to ground theaters. Designed with precision insertion in mind, the Descent-class is heavily armored for atmospheric reentry and combat landings, ensuring it can safely penetrate contested zones and disembark forces with speed and reliability.

	~~== Overview ==~~		At 100 meters, it is considerably larger than a standard shuttle, capable of ferrying hundreds of passengers, ground vehicles, and a full company of troops in a single deployment cycle.
	~~The Descent-class Drop Shuttle~~ is ~~the backbone of planetary invasion operations~~, capable of ~~delivering large numbers~~ of ground troops, ~~walkers~~, ~~or armored vehicles directly into hot zones. Designed for rapid atmospheric reentry~~, ~~mass~~ deployment, and ~~fast extraction~~, it is ~~heavily shielded and~~ often ~~deployed~~ in ~~waves under escort from fleet~~-~~based capital ships~~.
			Reinforced shielding, layered hull plating, and an array of point-defense laser systems allow it to survive anti-aircraft fire, while its maneuverability and dual repulsorlift banks make planetary descent, hover-deployment, and VTOL landings seamless.

			True to its name, the Descent-class is often the first ship down in a ground assault. It is a workhorse of tactical mobility, a symbol of force projection, and a reminder of the Imperial Republic’s rapid-response capabilities.

			It exists not to dominate airspace, but to deliver Order, Peace, and Stability to the ground below.
