| + | ===== 2. History and Background ===== | ||
| + | The Herring is one of the most recent incarnations of the long line of Terran dropships. For hundreds of years, dropships have been employed as the primary strategic troop transportation vessel, both on the ground and in space. With the exception of the specially designed boarding rockets, dropships are the almost exclusive transportation vehicle used by the UTR. | ||

| + | ==== Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems ==== | ||
| + | Underneath small, heavy segments of ship plating, flip-out volumetric emitters are safely protected from stray fire. While hovering at an extraction point, the ship flips out the emitters , and creates a convincing photonic camouflage over itself. The ' | ||

| + | The entire surface of the dropship is covered in a very weak composite material. Though providing poor armor, it serves a much more useful function: it is a highly advanced Radar Absorbent Material (RAM). Due to the strange shape of the vehicle, as well as the added plating over the volumetric emitters, the ship has a radar signature that resembles a flock of geese. It sounds really stupid... but it works! : D | ||

| + | Particle Displacement Stabilizer (PDS): The PDS is the primary anti-gravity system used by the UTR. It is employed in tanks, dropships, and other gravity-based vehicles. The S-94 and other dropships use a modified version of the standard system, allowing the particle displacement to work at higher altitudes and with heavier loads. The PDS works by ' | ||

| + | Light - 24% shielding around cockpit, wings, engine, guns, and unloading doors. | ||
| + | ==== Weapons Systems ==== | ||
| + | Modified light pulse laser arrays(2): these weapons are a modified, smaller version of the best defense against fighters, projectile weapons, boarding pods and shuttles available. They are placed at the fore and aft sections of the dropship. | ||
