The Devourer is used to transport [[Imperial Guard]] forces from orbiting ships to planetary surfaces. Carried in larger transport ships vessels like the [[Minotaur Class Tug]] which could themselves be carried in larger vessels such as the [[Cetaceus Class Transport]], ''Devourer'' dropships are considerably larger than [[Space Marine]] [[Thunderhawk]] Gunships. Each ''Devourer'' is a two-decked vessel, with the upper deck housing the infantry units and the lower deck holding the heavier equipment such as tanks and artillery. The ''Devourer'' is designed for planetary landings and deployment, with the armoured front section of the vessel opening up into four sections, deploying a ramp so that the onboard vehicles and infantry can quickly depart. The ''Devourer'' itself is not designed for combat, but is equipped with two heavy [[lascannon]] turrets and [[missile launcher]]s so that they can devastate armoured emplacements in support of ground units.{{Fn|1}} The missile launchers also defend the dropship against aerial threats by firing jet-missiles capable of splitting apart enemy aircrafts.{{Fn|3}}
