Karavan Transport Aircraft
While skyships are the permier means of air transport for the Red Fleet, not all missions warrant the deployment of the giant vessels. For shorter distances, smaller cargoes, and lower profiles, the Red Fleet uses transport aircraft like the Karavan.
The Karavan is able to carry 25 tons of cargo or up to 250 troops and can even accomodate light vehicles. Loading and unloading is via a rear ramp that can be opened in flight, which allows vehicles to be deployed using parachutes or drop casings and makes the Karavan usable as an auxilliary bomber.
The Karavan’s crew of six consists of a pilot, co-pilot, navigator, engineer or sorceress-engineer, radio/radar operator or infokaster, and a gunner for the defensive cannon mounted in the rear hardpoint.
