Description
The Ryu Heavy Treansport (WiGE) was produced by Wakazashi Enterprises for use for planetary Militias. Based Wakazashi's civilian version, the Ryu shares much of the Koi's mechanics and design features.
The craft was designed as a Logistic Support craft, moving military equipment, personnel, vehichles, and BattleMechs if need calls for it. However the vehicle armor has only been slightly increased by ton over its civilian version. Making it vulnerable to weapons fire from the ground. Wearpons have been added to provide some defense, but vehicle is built for behind back area use.

The ship has been given basic set weaponry in order to provide cover fire for troops and other military hardware being off loaded. It has a single Class 5 Autocannon mounted in its turret, while four machine guns, two mounted in front, while a single gun mounted on the sides to provide anti-infantry deterrence. The Autocannon been given two tons of ammunition while a machine guns have been given a half a ton. These weapons are guided by a Basic Fire Control weapon system.
The Ryu bas been given a cargo bay capacity of 108 tons, with doors front and back for unloading cargo. The craft has a Amphibious Chassis, giving it capacity to load and unload cargo from sea as well as land. The ship is protected by 4 tons of BAR 6 grade commerical armor.
