Bracan Transport
While the Tim'pan are the infantry of the Lylosian Empire, the Bracan are the armor corps. Every year, the Bracan outfit 2 reinforced regiments of armor for the use of the Empire. To transport the armies of the Lylosian Empire, the Bracan developed and produced these dedicated troop transports for the Empire. While the ships do have some defensive weaponry, the majority of the onboard space is used for carrying tanks and troops to the battlefield. Each ship has the capacity to carry either a half regiment of troops or hovertanks. Besides the main forward hatch used to disembark troops and vehicles on the ground, the transports also have an underside drop bay for high altitude or orbital rapid deployments.
