FACT FILE: S-14 Invader
The largest landing craft employed by the SFMC, the Invader
class appears similar to the Fleet's standard Runabout. The pilot and navigator
are carried forward in a separate section, while the loadmaster rides in
the aft (engineering) section of the vehicle. The large cargo module in
the center of the Invader is interchangeable, being replaced by mission
specific versions as needed. When carrying troops only, the module can
be dropped as an "instant bunker", as it carries it's own internal
power supply and a retractable upper turret (normally blocked by the Invader
as the module is attached). When vehicles or MECHA are carried, the module
is loaded with up to 12 combat vehicles or a platoon of Mecha. When the
landing zone is reached, the Invader hovers over the site and the loadmaster
lowers the front of the cargo module to the ground, forming a vehicle ramp.
For MECHA, the front of the module is swung down to the vertical position
as the roof of the module retracts, allowing the MECHA to deploy on their
feet. Among the ground forces, these modules are nicknamed as Pillboxes,
Parking Lots and Scoops respectively.

The Equipment Rating System
The preceeding descriptions of aerospace craft use a rating
system, rather than precise numbers. This is to simplify the factsheets,
and to make it easier to understand how each specific aerospace craft compares
to others. A value of zero (0) means none, while a value of 1 means minimal
and 10 means maximum within a given statistic.
