  • T-32z Jarhead-class assault lander
rdfs:comment
  • Resembling a rectangular wedge with its engines attached at the rear via heavily reinforced pylons, the T-32 series used simplicity of design to accommodate the extra shields and armor that made it a tough nut to crack. The hull was divided into three sections, each of which could be sealed off in the event of puncture: in the front was the cockpit, where the single pilot sat in a centerline position, with the space aft taken up by systems operators which, in the T-32z, were replaced by dedicated gunners while a fourth crewmember was added to fill their function. The central compartment housed the shield generators and hyperdrive motivator, and was afforded extra armor protection. The rear, and by far the largest compartment, was dedicated to holding upwards of a full platoon of battle-rea

abstract
  • Resembling a rectangular wedge with its engines attached at the rear via heavily reinforced pylons, the T-32 series used simplicity of design to accommodate the extra shields and armor that made it a tough nut to crack. The hull was divided into three sections, each of which could be sealed off in the event of puncture: in the front was the cockpit, where the single pilot sat in a centerline position, with the space aft taken up by systems operators which, in the T-32z, were replaced by dedicated gunners while a fourth crewmember was added to fill their function. The central compartment housed the shield generators and hyperdrive motivator, and was afforded extra armor protection. The rear, and by far the largest compartment, was dedicated to holding upwards of a full platoon of battle-ready infantry., in four rows of seats laid out parallel to the length of the craft. Onto the rear upper corners of the outer hull were attached the two sublight engine pods, which were themselves heavily armored while the three-point support struts that attached them to the fuselage were reinforced. Outfitted with powerful repulsorlifts, the T-32z could, theoretically, continued onto the landing zone despite having one of its engines shut down or shot away. The hull itself opened at six places: a forward hatch provided access to the crew compartment; the rear wall of the hull could be lowered to form an exit ramp, and four hatches opened up from the troop compartment. This latter feature allowed the T-32z to rapidly deploy soldiers or cargo. By rappelling from the side hatches, soldiers could drop into a much tighter space, while cargo, piled on top of a repulsorlift gurney, could simply be pushed out of the back. Finally, the side hatches could be fitted with extending docking collars for use in boarding other starships.
