Overview

The Dragonfly-class (designation DCTC) is a fast, light transport cruiser used by the Imperial Republic Navy for high-priority supply runs, special forces deployments, and quick-reaction support missions.

At 400 meters long, the Dragonfly trades heavy armor and mass for agility and responsiveness. It boasts a respectable 120,000-ton cargo capacity and is often deployed to ferry urgent supplies, elite troopers, or critical equipment into theaters where traditional heavy transports would be too slow or vulnerable.

Equipped with modest defensive armament — including 10 laser cannons, 5 turbolasers, and missile launchers — the Dragonfly relies on its sublight speed, maneuverability, and small size to evade larger threats.

Its docking bays and planetary landing capability allow it to operate independently or alongside fleet units, making it a common sight among rapid response task forces and frontier garrisons.

Dragonfly-class ships are often assigned to "Rapid Anchor Groups," providing swift lifelines to forces across the galaxy.
