Overview 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.
