This is a custom Escort Dropship made by www.deviantart.com/mecha-zone for me. It is created for the crossover quest The Lords of Ruin

The Marshall is a 70 meters long and 2,000 Tons beast of a ship. It was created by the Helghan Republic after the Aurigan Civil War and the lead up into the assault on the Capellan Confederation. After the Helghan Republic acquired the structural and armor technology to match the levels of the IS factions the creation of smaller Naval Vessels became possible. While nowhere near the combat ability of the FTL equipped and much larger warships of the Navy the Marshall class is much cheaper to produce. Copying the IS method of attaching dropships to Jumpships the Helghan Navy has assigned Marshalls to escort convoys and fleet task forces by attaching to the larger vessels. At only a seventh of the size of the main Helghan Cruisers, Arc Cruisers, Guided Missile Cruisers, Carriers, and cargo/colony ships the Marshall is deployed in at least a pair per side per ship in a convoy or task force. As they lack any FTL drive like normal IS dropship they also form the SDF (System Defense Force) of any system under Helghan Republic control or protection. It is heavily armed and armored to survive engagements against any raiding force of pirates and is even enough to make the militaries of the IS and Periphery wary of attacking Helghan possessions. The main drive to create the Marshall, the 100 meter Sheriff light carrier and the smaller 40 meter the Constable Class to spread out the protection details of the Navy without having to assign the more limited FTL ships. The advanced Anti-Grav Ring installed allows for higher output and performance than a comparable Inner Sphere Dropship with the same equipment but cannot stand up to larger dropships or overwhelming numbers of ASFs.
