Update Needed This article needs to be updated with material from Technical Readout: 3039. Once this title clears the Moratorium period, or if it already has, please consider revisiting this article and updating it with the new material.

[edit] Description

A common sight in House Liao and Capellan Confederation air lances, the Transit has armor and weapons to spare. Built as a 'Mech-buster and DropShip attack craft, the Transit isn't fast or agile, but is easy to control and has had few loss of control accidents.

[edit] Armament

The main armament of the Transit is the giant Tomodzuru Autocannon/20 located in the nose, along with two tons of ammo to feed the monster autocannon. The four Kajuka Type 2 "Bright Blossom" Medium Lasers are mounted to the front, two in the nose and one in each wing. This gives the Transit a backup for when the ammo supply for the autocannon has been exhausted.

[edit] Variants

• TR-11 Recon version, eliminating the four Medium Lasers to save weight for an enlarged cockpit and extra sensors. This version also has a second seat for an observer.
