Drop Ship Carrier (DSC)
Victory's Crucible Class

Platform Overview:
The Victory's Crucible class Drop Ship Carrier is the primary strategic lift platform for the Lancer Corps. Each DSC serves as "home away from home" for a light regiment of troops plus their transport ships and equipment. Aside from their combat role in supporting planetfall warfare operations, these assets form the backbone of the High Guard¹s disaster relief and humanitarian assistance capability. With its large number of highly motivated soldiers, the DSC is uniquely qualified to provide manpower support for the distribution of goods and services. In addition, each asset can be quickly converted to provide strategic lift services for any HCBG or PRG element.
