Overview:
The second of Cygnet's 'budget' range of mech transporters, the Starlifter is half the size of the Sherwood Class, but retains two-thirds of its cargo capacity.
This is intended to be a 'mid-range' option for companies who want greater capability than that offered by smaller dropships, but don't want to for the larger, more expensive models.
Capabilities:
Deciding to restrict the Starlifter's battlemech load to just two companies, meant the designers could give it the necessary structural integrity, speed, armour and armament to fend for itself in the wilds of the Periphery. Indeed, except for its cargo capacity, it is very similar in all respects to the Sherwood.
