Description

The Anhur Transport is based upon the Star League era Cobra Transport VTOL, and was intended as an alternative to using DropShips 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 these supplies; it 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 the vehicle's high speed serves as its primary defense.

Armament

Though the Anhur is not meant to be in combat, it does have a trio of medium lasers with which to defend itself. A Series 2f ER Medium Laser and Kolibri Delta Series Medium Pulse Laser are mounted under the chin, while a second pulse laser fires from the rear of the transport. While this is not much of a threat to most 'Mechs, the lasers can serve to discourage light combat vehicles.
