Description
Mass - 3,000 tons
Crew - 12
Troop Capacity - 150 Elementals

Built to replace the Sassanid class Dropship the new Maori class was an aerodyne, its genesis starting with a stretched and more streamlined Broadsword hull with raised nose and bridge section and a notable ‘belly’ section for the Elementals and cargo. Unlike the Sassanid, the Maori could carry a Trinaries worth of Elementals, 150 in total and, unlike the other design it was built to carry larger and smaller Elementals including the Deimos, Alecto and Alastor suits. Doors and hatches along the DropShips sides under its cockpit and even on its belly let suits disembark quickly allowed jump capable suits to be deployed from high altitude although to unload the Alecto the Maori had to land. The troop bays were split by a cargo bay that could hold over 470 tons of supplies, spare parts and ammunition, easily allowing the Maori to support its Elementals and repair them if needed. The DropShips armament was also considerable thanks to a mix of energy and ballistic weapons, allowing it to act, in a pinch as a ground attack craft whilst forty tons of Ferro-Aluminium armour gave it a thick hide, allowing it to withstand a considerable amount of hostile attention.
