| Notes | The Stormer is the standard
GSN Heavy Assault Shuttle for Marine landing operations, carrying a full
company plus support weapons and small surface or atmospheric
vehicles–usually one or two 10-person skimmers or vehicles of similar
size. Troops may be debarked through side and belly hatches or the aft
cargo/vehicle ramp. It is based on–and almost identical to–the
RMN Mk130 Herakles. The Stormer can also be configured as a boarding shuttle, carrying up to a full company of Marines in armored vac suits plus a platoon-sized Navy team to take operational control of the ship being boarded. Boarding-configured craft have a rebuilt after section which is designed to allow the Stormer to make a stern-first approach to a target vessel, lock on with mooring tractors, and create a pressure-tight seal against the target hull so that boarding teams may cut through and enter the ship at some point other than normal smallcraft access ports. These units are also equipped with an additional ventral turret in an aft position under the “boarding ramp” which mounts a 2cm laser used to disable any weapons mounted on the target hull in the area where contact is to be made. |
