Description[edit]
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 it is easy to control and has had few loss of control accidents.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The main armament of the Transit is the giant Tomodzuru AC/20 located in the nose, along with two tons of ammo to feed the monstrous 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 when the ammo supply for the autocannon has been exhausted.
Variants[edit]
- TR-9
- This variant is identical to the TR-10, except that it mounts ferro-aluminum armor and places an two additional armor points aft, as well as increasing the autocannon ammo load to 15 rounds total.[4][5]
- TR-11
- A recon variant, the TR-11 eliminates the four medium lasers to save weight for an enlarged cockpit and extra sensors. This version also has a second seat for an observer. BV (1.0) = 774[6][7], BV (2.0) = 815
- TR-12
- The TR-12 is a total redesign, fitted with a Rawlings 250 extralight engine, freeing weight for the lasers to be upgraded to ER medium lasers. The standard AC/20 is replaced with an LB 20-X AC with an additional ton of ammunition, and an extra ton of armor was added on. BV (1.0) = 1,444[8], BV (2.0) = 1,616
- TR-13X Transit Glare
- This version replaces the standard weaponry with an experimental improved heavy Gauss rifle and four ER medium lasers. The heat sinks were replaced by double strength models, and the Transit Glare is protected by 10 tons of experimental reflective armor. BV (2.0) = 1,683[9]
- TR-13G
- Based on the Transit Glare, this version offers identical performance and protection to the pilot, with the only real change being the main armament. Unable to secure a steady supply of improved heavy Gauss rifles, the TR-13G instead uses a Long Tom Cannon with three tons of ammunition as its main armament. This massive weapon provides a longer reach and massive firepower against incoming DropShips while not affecting the Transit's traditional ground attack role. The variant use a Endicott Type 28 Maser communications system. BV (2.0) = 1,522[10][11]
Design Quirks[edit]
The TR-13G Transit variant is subject to the following Design Quirks:[10]
