==Description==
Based on the venerable ''[[Intruder]]''-class combined-arms transport, the '''''Sassanid'''''-class [[DropShip]] was the primary [[battle armor]] carrier among the [[Clan]] ''[[touman|toumans]]'', able to carry a complete [[Trinary]] of 75 [[Elementals]], into battle. In wide use among the Clan forces, [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] possessed the bulk of produced vessels, while [[Clan Jade Falcon|Clans Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Wolf|Wolf]] operated the fewest.<ref name=TRO3057R/><ref name=TRO3057>''Technical Readout: 3057'', pp. 78–79: "Sassanid DropShip Profile"</ref>

Like many early Clan DropShips, the first ''Sassanid''s were merely cumbersome and ad-hoc refits of its parent design, with the first true new design versions produced in [[2875]]. The modern craft provides each [[Star]] their own separate deck, with their own kit rooms, mess hall, medical facilities, and bunkrooms for each [[Point]]. However the Elementals spend most of their time in-transit in the advanced holographic simulator training areas on each deck, constantly honing their team-work and skills.

Well armed for its size, the ''Sassanid'' can generally see off most foes. The tightly packed nose bay features a single [[AC/5]], twin [[ER Large Lasers]], two [[Large Pulse Lasers]], and six [[Medium Pulse Lasers]], an [[Artemis IV FCS|Artemis enhanced]] [[LRM-20]] and twin [[SRM-6]] launchers. Each fore angle mounts a single ER large laser, twin Medium Pulse Lasers, and LRM-20 and SRM-6 launchers alongside an [[LB 10-X AC]]. Both rear angles feature an ER Large Laser, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and a single AC/5, while directly aft the ''Sassanid'' mounts another ER Large Laser, an LRM-20 rack, LB 10-X AC, twin Large Pulse Lasers, and two Medium Pulse Lasers.<ref name=TRO3057R/><ref name=TRO3057/>

Beyond its "cargo" of 75 Elementals, the ''Sassanid'' has 1,204 tons of storage capacity. Each Star can embark or deploy from 2 access doors each, while the cargo is accessed through another two doors.<ref name=TRO3057R/>
