HISTORY
________________________________________________________________

The V-400 Saratoga Heavy Dropship is a dedicated troop transport and landing ship of the Free Citizens Republic Navy. The workhorse of the Strategic Air and Space Logistics Command, The V-400 can transport a wide variety of vehicles to and from any planet surface and even make interstellar jumps with a full load. In addition, they can also carry over a platoon worth of troops in cryo-stasis, waking them only upon reaching destination. As such, there's a full medical suite at the front and aft of the ship.

The Saratoga is equipped with Assault Cannons, Rockets and Gatling guns as well as strategically placed heavy armour in order to support the deployment of combat vehicles.

Alternatively, because the newer generation of FCR Army and Marines vehicles can be airdropped: the Saratoga can deploy these assets while still airborne, if needed.
