The CRZN's mainstay light dropship, the T-98 Leatherback is a compact, versatile workhorse that can conveniently fit within the same hangar space as a main battle tank or an interceptor while comfortably seating up to 8 troops plus equipment.

With only light armor and shields, the T98's main advantage is a compact profile, high manoeuvrability and carrying capacity. While standard T-98 series all retain lightcruise capability, only the Recon variant comes standard with a warp drive. The ship is kept aloft by a mix of repulsor pads and ion thrusters, backed up by an array of powerful RCS modules capable of sustaining limited flight in the event of an emergency.

This particular example is CS41, a T98-C Heavy Lift/Marine variant in CRZN grey armed with a single forward gunpod and dual beam turret to offer light ground support. A retracting aft turret is stowed within the troop compartment's ceiling for cover fire.



Inspired by primarily by a ship from ReBoot, plus a Matrix Hovercraft and a Lakon Keelback.

Can fit in most hangars by design including the Kaibon and thanks to the large maglock can carry just about any tank-sized vehicle to and from a base or carrier.
