Elysian Drop Troops

25 bytes added, 28 March
no edit summary
The [[Valkyrie Airborne Assault Carrier]] is the standard transport of Elysian Drop Troop regiments, used for both high-level drops and low-level insertions. It can carry up to twelve individuals in its hold along with heavier equipment attached to it, and is versatile enough to provide fire support for its disembarking passengers. Also used by the Elysians is the [[Vendetta]] gunship, a modified [[Valkyrie]] with reduced transport capability but armed with 3 [[twin-linked]] [[lascannons]]. These are used to hunt down armoured targets. [[Vulture Gunship]]s provide Elysians with their heaviest form of fire support and escort for Valkyries and [[Sky Talon]]s. Unlike most other regiments these transports are piloted by the Elysians themselves rather than [[Imperial Navy]] pilots. Due to their nature drop regiments do not use the heavy vehicles of other Imperial Guard units and are restricted to whatever their transports can carry. Vehicular support comes in the form of [[Drop Sentinel]]s, [[Support Sentinel]]s and [[Tauros]] vehicles. [[Cyclops Demolition Vehicle]]s are also small enough to be transported within a Valkyrie's hold, as are [[Sentry Gun]]s.{{Fn|8b}}{{Fn|6g}}
