Conqueror-class War Transport

At first glance, an observer would decide that while the blocky Conqueror is well-protected, it is under-gunned, carrying almost 30% less weaponry than an Impstar Deuce and 25% less than an MC-90. Capital ship combat, however, is not the vessel's primary focus. The vessel's squared-off appearance derives from an overly large hangar bay specially designed to accomodate smaller ships. Up to eight ships under 200 meters can squeeze into this bay, five ships under 400 meters, or two ships under 600 meters. The vessel was specifically designed to transport large numbers of vulnerable transports without having to surround them with escorts. Another tactic which has sprung up is for the ship to 'trap' itself in a gravity well and be attacked by a numerically superior force, only to deploy the warships that it was hiding in its belly and unleash them on the suddenly outgunned attackers.

Special Notes
As with all MMA-produced combat vessels, the ship features the innovative syntharmor repair system. A network of tubes run thoughout the outer hull; in the event of a hull breach, the system uses high pressure to squirt a fast-drying, tarlike substance across the breach, which temporarily will patch the hole long enough for personnel to escape to more safer compartments. In case of larger breaches, a network of tiny cables is first shot out to provide additional support and stability to the patch. Once dried, the syntharmor, in addition to sealing the hole, provides the equivalent protection of a panel of phototropically treated transparisteel. The duration the patch will hold for depends on the size of the breach.

As also standard, a set of backup shields rated at one-third the power of the ship's standard shields exists. Finally, the vessel also features the new PDS, a network of rapid-firing rotary blasters which provide excellent anti-missile and anti-starfighter defense, in addition to the ship's standard weaponry.
