Ruin-Class Assault Ship

The Ruin-class assault ship, alternatively referred to as the Ruin-class transport, or Ruin-class troopship, was an assault ship created for the Imperial Dominion of the Cev Empire by Battlefield Technology Industries and Shadow Fleet Yards.

Characteristics
The 752-meter-long Ruin-class assault transport carried thousands of clone troopers into battle. These ships were armed with 4 torpedo tubes; 24 point-defense cannons; and 12 tau particle cannons. In addition to ground landings, Ruin-class ships were capable of water landings.

Ruin-class ships also carried support equipment and vehicles, used to provide clone troopers with heavy battlefield support. Each Ruin-class ship held 100 patrol bikes, used by clone troopers for fast battlefield reconnaissance and patrol duties. Eighty Imperial Assault Transport gunships were carried to insert personnel, vehicles, and cargo into battle zones in addition to providing close air support. Gunships were suspended along an overhead circulating rail in the upper hangar for maintenance procedures during travels. A lower, smaller hangar area was used to embark and disembark ground troops and material when landed. The two levels were connected with elevator platforms. Most of the passenger and barrack decks were located on the upper levels of an Ruin-class ship.
