Capsule: A single Assault Transport is designed to carry a corps,
but often carries less than a full corps as subordinate elements
are assigned to other vessels.
It can easily transport a Line Corps (69199 men, 2970 vehicles),
but would need help of other transports to carry a full armor
corps (74794 men, 6347 vehicles).
Because of their great size, Assault Transports cannot land on
planets. They must be serviced by shuttles, barges, or other
surface-to-space vessels.
The transport includes hangar facilites for the standard corp
ground support wing of 40 TIE's.

Capsule: When the Empire started to expand the military was there a
great need for new assault ships, capable of carrying large numbers of
soldiers and their equipment.
One answer to the problem was the transport made by Evakmar-KDY which
was capable of carrying an entire corps, however, these vessels were
large and expensive, and sometimes a group of smaller assault ships
were more efficient, since a corps could be spread simultaneously over
several systems instead of just one at a time.
Therefore was the renowned Rendili StarDrive commissioned to design a
new vessel. The result was the LS-Series which all share a common design
with a large two-deck hangar bay at the rear of a rectangular hull.
The hangar bay is between the engines and all docking takes place from
the rear, except for small shuttles which can use side-doors.
The different models are made by adjusting the size of the hangar bay
and the nearby situated troop quarters and cargo compartments.
They are capable of entering a planets atmosphere, but they do not land
except in emergencies because landing is extremely difficult with a
vessel of this size.
The LS-Series carry two types of drop ships, large dropships which are
around 100 meters long while small dropships are about 50 meters long.
