The Forcaser Assault Landing Craft (or more commonly called the FALC, or the FALCON) is a flying beauty. It was originally a test project by Revino Regordo Jr. at about 190-200 ABY, when the New Jedi-Sith Wars began.

## History

### Origins

The FALC was a test project, thats goal was to be the first gunship to carry troops at hyperspace. The first attempts were unsuccessful. It was smaller, more compact, and could only fit a squad in at a time. Not to mention, that it´s primary Hyperdrive was a class 6, 2 better than the newer model´s backup. The original model had more armament (6 laser cannons [2 on a single turret]). It also did not have a shield generator, or internal communications. It was upgraded around 213 ABY to the current model.

### Testing the New Model

Making the new model was difficult, but after it was finished, it was easy to test. The New Jedi-Sith Wars began, and it was the perfect time to start. After several failed attempts, the New Sith Empire gave up on the plan, and left Tranat on his own. At this time, Tranat was not on the Dark Council, he was a Sith Lord. Tranat vanished from the NSE, and pursued his creations elsewhere (Mustafar). Although Mustafar was an NSE controlled planet, he had no problem getting on to do his work, as word had not spread that far out yet. After the troops there got ord, they tried to shut down the program, but were convinced that this new model could be the key to galactic domination, they were all for it. When reports came in from scouts, they sent a battalion to deal with Tranat. Tranat had a small garrison, about a platoon or company nig in men. This was the perfect time to test his project. The NSE came to the planet with Sith-Class Cruisers, and old First Order modified transports, to transport platoons of troops. They were unshielded, and had limited armament. Revino launched only 3 of his transports, while the NSE launched dozens. A quick battle occured, and roughly 5 of the 36 or so transports made it back to the Sith cruiser. All 3 of the Tranat designed transports made it back to the surface to recharge their shields and batteries.

### The Agreement

Shortly after word reached Coruscant that Tranat had managed to create nearly unstoppable transports, the Dark Council suspected that he was rebelling from the Empire, and ordered the planet to be destroyed, but the only Planet Killer that was being constructed was not yet completed. The NSE sent in 2 more Sith cruisers to try to combine forces to take the air of the planet. The NSE suspected that he only had 3 transports, so they launched all of theirs, a total of around 1,250 FALCs. Again, Tranat launched 3, but added the additional AA cannon support, that did well. He then launched over *50* of them after the cannons were finished, and once again, the NSE transports were no match for the Tranat designed transports. The cruisers contacted the NSE once again, and they said that they needed to strike a deal with Tranat. They sent one shuttle, and 2 fighter escorts, and arrived on the surface, met by part of the garrison. The garrison escorted him to where Tranat called his *home*: the remains of Fortress Vader. The Sith officer said that he was sent here with another Sith who was currently meditating, and would arrive shortly. Tranat secretly told his garrison to prepare for battle in their secret commlinks. He told the officer to have a seat. The officer explained that the Dark Council was suspecting that Tranat was rebelling against the Empire, but Tranat disagreed. He said that the Council did not like his progress on his work, and told him he could not complete it, so he simply said that he *took a break* from it. The officer said that the deal he wanted to strike brung Tranat a great profit, and the galaxy peace. Tranat could not argue with eather, as he listened to the proposition:

*Tranat Oxlbri. can keep all of the credits that is put forth to constructing this ship. He is responsible for supplying them, the parts, and equipment for the process of making them, but does not have to provide the workers. Tranat Oxlbri will be able to return to Coruscant, and return to the NSE, and continue his projects whenever, wherever, but the NSE will not provide maximum support (only volunteers or unwanted/unneeded slaves) until results are proven. By accepting this, Tranat Oxlbri understands that the consequence for not following these agreements, that he will be exiled, or killed on the spot by someone with high authority. Also by agreeing to this, the Dark Council has agreed to lower your years [from attempting the Dark Council Trials] from 5 to 1. AS of next year (as long as you do not break any agreements) then you will be eligible to take the trials.*

Tranat agreed, and no attack came. The deal was made, and the officer went on his way.

### The Trap is Sprung

Tranat thought it was over too soon. He was right the first time. A Sith (Darth Vuwn’s great-grandfather [who was not dead yet]) launched an all out bombardment after the officer left. Tranat had to abandon Fortress Vader, as it would be destroyed shortly after the attack started. He seemed fond of attacking the transport charging and refueling stations, which were also gone. Tranat was not surrendering, at least, not yet. After a short panic tactic, almost half of his transports were destroyed, and he surrendered.

### Exile

Tranat was brought before the trial, and was sentenced 3 years of exile for his crimes against the NSE, but the NSE got the ships they wanted. Ever since, Tranat wanted revenge, but never had it. He died while in exile, due to lack of water, lack of shelter, and animal attacks. All the while, the NSE continued to make more ships, and was unaware of hi death for another 5 years.

## New-Jedi Sith Wars

After Tranat died, the NSE took over the project, and continued to use it throughout the New Jedi-Sith Wars.
