This, like my Twilight Horizon is still a WIP, though it's as finished as I'll get it right now without spending an abhorrent amount of time on it. Obviously I've got little imagination, I'm simply fixing my pet peeve of having lopsided ships. Please ask for permission if you wish to use it for anything as I am currently hoping to use them later in a book I'm hoping to finish.

Crew-16 Standard Load

Captain, Pilot/co-pilot, Nav officer, Com officer, 4 turret gunners, 1 protocol droid, 2 Tactical mission droids to coordinate each briefing room, 2 engineers +astromech, 2 medic droids

Crew-24 Heavy load

Standard load + 2 Medic droids, + 4 Wardroids, + 2 Armory/Cargo officers
Equipment

2 Heavy laser cannons
4 medium modular cannons (2 above/2below heavy laser cannons)    Can be ion, standard, particle, slug throwers
4 medium twin barrel buzz blaster cannons (2 top of hull, 2 under hull) for use against personnel/fighters/light ground vehicles each controlled by 1 gunner
4 multi use launchers (torpedo/bomb) 2 astride the bridge each side with ammo storage under bridge
4 Escape/Insertion Pods capable of holding 8

*Subject to change*
Hyperdrive rating-- 0.75
In atmosphere speed, 1100 Km/h

The ship was imagined and built to fill the specific need to jump into the system with a full platoon of soldiers and their equipment. On board the ship, there were two ways that the ship had to get it's payload on the ground. First, the Blockade Jumper would fly as close as possible to the blockade of the specified planet and make a micro hyperspace jump to appear in the small space between the blockade and the planet surface. There it would launch it's escape pods which also doubled as heavily shielded drop pods before it would then turn and fight or run. The second, in conjunction to it's heavily armored hull and layered shielding, it would simply fly into the fight, hopefully accompanied with other ships, and proceed to unleash it's deadly array of weapons onto it's opponents.

Several variations of the Blockade Jumper class assault vessel were made for various duties. Some had increased cargo/medical facilities for humanitarian aid while others had a single large cargo interior on each side where the whole floor was part of the elevator system.

Designed with the Mandalorian mindset it had a laser cannon suite on the ends of the hull facing forward, 1 at each end,  that housed 1 Heavy turbo Laser and 2 Medium Turbo lasers for ship to ship combat along with several missile tubes to supplement it. As a secondary it had 4 dual buzz blasters for smaller craft or for anti personnel purposes while on the ground.

While heavier and a bit larger than the BT-7 Thunderclap, it still performed to spec, and once on the ground it's shield generators could be changed to create a dome shield with nearly the power of cruisers, it's turreted buzz blasters made for excellent point defense, and it became a literal staging and command ship.

The idea of the ship was sound but hard to put into practice. Rendili determined that while the computers could do the job, making a micro hyperspace jump in the way this ship was meant to needed pilots that were either fearless, exceptional, or just plain Jedi as the machines could only compensate so much. It is unknown why Rendili did not continue with the Blockade Jumper line of the BT-7, but the design was retooled and the BT-7 Thunderclap was born in it's place for the galactic cold war. However, a limited run of the Blockade Jumper and it's variations were made as Rendili was flooded with requests for it outside the military market.
