Troop Pod

 
Craft: Imperial Troop Drop Pod
Class: Transport
Cost: n/a
Size: Diminutive (10 m long)
Crew: None *
Passengers: 20
Cargo Capacity: 200 kg
Consumables: 1 day
Hyperdrive: None
Maximum Speed: Ramming *
Defense: 24 (+10 armor, +4 size)
Hull Points: 60
DR: 5
Sensor Mask: +4 to DC to identify troop pod with sensors

* A pod has no crew, but it automatically successfully uses the Change Speed one category (until it has accelerated to Ramming) and Decrease Range (target is the nearest planet or moon) maneuvers every round.

These are used by special missions forces (such as Imperial Army Special Missions platoons, Imperial Navy SpecNav teams, or Storm Commandos) to drop two squads in a single pod.  They are often dropped in large numbers, with a mix of troop pods, supply pods, and decoys.
