R-120 Ace Cargo Transport

Model: R-120 Ace Cargo Transport
Manufactured By: Kuat Drive Yards/Telgorn Corp.
Designation: Support Craft/Cargo Transport
Length: 50 meters
Crew: 6
Troops: 180 (30 with cargo)
Cargo Capacity: 45 meters total
Consumables: 1 week
Hyperdrive: x6
Hyperdrive Backup: None
Speed: 2480 KPH (110 MGLT)
Hull: 85 RU
Shields: 170 SBD

Weapons: 1 Underside Mounted Heavy Laser Cannon, 2 Wingtip Rapid Fire Blaster Cannons

The R-120 looks like an elongated Dx-9 Transport, with wings. The wings take the place of the short stubby engines on the Dx-9, while newer engines completely line each of them. The wings stretch about ten meters out, with a total wingspan of twenty-five meters. Perhaps one thing more noticable about the wings is that when not in flight, the first three meters from the tip fold down, and when in flight, go back up to 45 degrees, while the rest of the wing remains straight.

At the tips of each wing is a rapid fire blaster cannon for defense. Underneath the cockpit is a heavy laser cannon, which pans 190 degrees.

The cargo capacity of the R-120 is random. Up to 180 soldiers can be transported in the hold, or up to 45 meters of ground vehicles and 30 soldiers. In the rear is a fold down ramp for loading and unloading.

There are many similarities between the R-120 and the R-140, except for length and purpose. The R-140 still looks like an elongated Dx-9 Transport, with wings. The wings take the place of the short stubby engines on the Dx-9, while newer engines completely line each of them. The wings stretch about ten meters out, with a total wingspan of twenty-five meters. Perhaps one thing more noticable about the wings is that when not in flight, the first three meters from the tip fold down, and when in flight, go back up to 45 degrees, while the rest of the wing remains straight.

At the tips of each wing is a rapid fire blaster cannon for defense. Underneath the cockpit is a heavy laser cannon, which pans 190 degrees. The bomb payload can be up to the equivalent of 60 proton bombs.
