The Crusader is a heavy transport used to deploy assault teams during invasions and raids. These large craft out mass most other dropships, capable of transporting large numbers of ground troops.
At just over 40 meters long, the Crusader can hold up to 40 Warriors, and two to three vehicles. These forces are literally dropped into combat, the floor of the cargo bay opening up to allow for the rapid deployment of their troops.
Of course, such a massive craft is fairly slow, only capable of hitting up to 92 G’s. It also lacks significant weaponry, armed only with two 20mm machine guns for self-defense and light fire support. To make up for these shortcomings, the Crusader is heavily armored enough to withstand significant hostile ground fire as it approaches to drop off its forces.
The Crusader is the keystone of Tribal attacks, whether deployed alone carrying a scout team, or in formations for heavy assault. It is one of the most sought-after and commonly purchased vehicles among the Ta’keshi Tribes.
