It was intended as a planetside means of hauling supplies brought by [[DropShip]] to frontline units. Though DropShips can and do perform this function, they are inefficient in an atmosphere and awkward in many of the situations which confront troops in a planetary environment. VTOLs like the Anhur offer a much more flexible means of delivering the goods. The machine can carry seven tons of supplies in its cargo bay. + The '''Anhur''' Transport is based upon the [[Star League era]] [[Cobra (Combat Vehicle)|Cobra]] Transport VTOL, as an alternative to using [[DropShip]]s to ferry supplies to units on the front lines. Though DropShips are the standard method of moving cargo, they are inefficient and wholly impractical for use once a military unit has landed on a planet's surface. The Anhur uses its seven-ton cargo bay to carry this equipment, which can also be used to transport [[infantry]], though only a handful of [[Clans]] use it in this capacity. Three tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor provide respectable protection for a VTOL, though its relies more on its top speed of 130 km/h to simply evade weapons fire. − It can be used as an [[infantry]] assault transport, though few [[Clan]] units operate the machine in this capacity. Protected by three tons of [[Ferro-fibrous]] armor, the Anhur is tough enough to get close to the fighting.

A Series 2f [[ER Medium Laser]] and Kolibri Delta Series [[Medium Pulse Laser]] are mounted under the chin, while a second pulse laser fires into the rear of the transport. While this is not much of a threat to most [['Mech]]s, the lasers can serve to discourage light [[combat vehicle]]s. − ==Weapons and Equipment== − Although the Anhur is not a combat design, it is equipped for self-defense with a trio of medium lasers.

The cargo bay is adapted to carry infantry, and enlarged to have a ten ton capacity. An [[ECM Suite]] is included to provide a measure of electronic cover. An [[ER Medium Laser]] and an [[AP Gauss Rifle]] are mounted firing forward, and a second pair faces to the rear. The two AP-Gs share a single ton of ammo, giving each twenty rounds.

The cargo capacity of the Anhur P-Stealth is reduced to five and a half tons, but this is an acceptable trade for improved survivability against the Clans.
