History & Data
The Storm Crane is the UNSF’s all-purpose troop/cargo transport craft and while a lot smaller than their comparable brethren in other militaries they are generally more versatile, better armed, and large amounts of them can be packed in the same amount of space as say a Denali-Class Runabout.
The Storm Crane has a blocky rectangular body with the forward half of the craft able to hold up to a crew of three [only one crew is actually required] and then a squad of ten armored marines in the cargo hold with the ability to add an additional pod to the rear in place of the craft’s normal cargo hook to carry another ten personnel [the cargo hook can carry a standard cargo pod, a weapons drop pod launcher [10 pods] or carry any number of vehicles including a hover tank].
The craft has two stubby wings which are used mainly for lift purposes when in atmosphere and can mount to Light-Medium missile pods under them and then mounts both a 35mm chain gun and a 75mm automatic-cannon in the nose, .50BMG [or a machine gun of equivalent size] can be mounted in either side door or on the rear cargo ramp if no equipment is being carried under the craft’s tail.
