Description
The Duat Military Transport is a DropShip which was originally produced in secret during the 32nd Century by a renegade faction of ComStar. The ship was created in 3131, designed as part renegade ComStar faction’s efforts to rebuild their organization's lost military arm, the Com Guard. These engineers would design the craft as a Combined Arms transport which would be structured to carry Com Guard style formations.
During the 3130s, the Republic's would get devastated by numerous conflicts and be forced to undertake a drastic effort to close itself off from rest of the Inner Sphere. During this time, Com Guard's existence would become known to RAF. The discovery would result in a brief, but damaging conflict with Republic's forces. The renegade faction and its 1st Division would soon be hunted down and destroyed. During the conflict, Duat's presence and capacities would be felt as 1st Division fought for their very existence. Republic officials would soon discover the plans for the Duat and they decided to capitalize on the ship being an unknown to rest of the Inner Sphere. With the Duat's large transport capacities would be adapted to transport the Republic's newest weapons, which would include the Ares and Poseidon Superheavy BattleMechs. In effort to buy time for Republic to recover and RAF would use it to conduct raids outside of the Fortress's Walls.[4]
