Description
Based on the venerable Intruder-class combined-arms transport, the Sassanid-class DropShip was the primary Battle Armor carrier among the Clan Toumans, able to carry 75 Elementals, a complete Trinary, into battle. In wide use among the Clan forces, Clan Smoke Jaguar possessed the bulk produced, while Clans Jade Falcon and Wolf operated the least.
Like many early Clan DropShip, the first Sassanids 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.
Armament
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 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 along side an LB 10-X AC. Both rear angles features an ER Large Laser, two Medium Pulse Lasers and a single AC/5, which 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.
Cargo
Beyond its "cargo" of 75 Elementals, the Sassanid has 1,234 tons of storage capacity.
