Description[edit]
The Ryu heavy transport (Wing in Ground Effect, or WiGE) was produced by Wakazashi Enterprises for use by planetary militias. Based on Wakazashi's civilian version, the Ryu shares much of the Koi's mechanics and design features.[1][2]
The craft was designed as a logistic support craft, moving military equipment, personnel, vehicles, and BattleMechs, as called upon. However, the vehicle armor was only slightly increased by a ton from its civilian version, making it vulnerable to ground weapons fire. Weapons have been added to provide some defense, but the vehicle is built for use in the strategic rear area.[1][2]
After the Jihad ended, Kervil became part of The Republic of the Sphere and hosted the main production lines for the Koi, Ryu, and Nishikigoi WiGEs. The Republic Armed Forces, therefore, had access to these WiGEs.[1][2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The ship had been given a basic set of weaponry, in order to provide cover fire for troops and other military hardware being offloaded. It has a single Class 5 autocannon mounted in a turret, while four machine guns—two mounted in front and a single gun mounted on each side—provided anti-infantry deterrence. The autocannon had two tons of ammunition and the machine guns a half-ton. These weapons were guided by a basic fire control system.[1][2]
The Ryu had a cargo bay capacity of 108 tons, with doors front and back for unloading. The craft had an amphibious chassis, giving it the capability to load and unload cargo at sea. The ship was protected by four tons of BAR 6 grade commercial armor.[1][2]
Related Variants[edit]
- Koi heavy transport
- Wakazashi's civilian WiGE served as the basis for the Ryu.
Notes[edit]
- As of this writing, there were no canon record sheets for this vehicle.
