YZ-1500 Assault Craft

With conflict growing across the galaxy the need for civilian traffic protection was growing to new heights. While the Galactic Governments did their best, their fleets were scaled more for large scale combat against each other, and not for hunting down pirates and other criminal elements.

The YZ-1500 was designed to meet the demands for a escort ship that could be owned and operated by even small scale shippers to protect their cargo ships from raiders. Its design allows it to also act as a light transport and/or freighter.

The ship has found its way into many protection organizations and even in galactic navies, who see the ship as a great troop transport for boarding operations or to quickly land forces in a contested area on a planet. Because of how new the the ship is still, not many have found their way into the criminal elements of the Galaxy, even the civilian owned ones are hard to capture with out rendering the ship useless and strict background checks are made on a buyer. Long story short its a lot of trouble for pirates or other unsavory people to get a hold of the ship.

Its highly modifiable much like the YT series of ships CEC produces, giving the ship even more room for role customization.
