The latest from Tion Industries, the TASC is designed to transport up to 60 armed death troopers or 30 Drhazi Dameuns, along with a number of speeder bikes, and other combat supplies. Although its primary function is the deployment of troops, the TASC is also meant to serve as a combat vehicle and is armed with eight retractable laser cannons, two concussion-missile launchers, an ion cannon, and two Wyvern cannons. Its hull is covered in thick armor plating and many models are equipped with four deflector shield generators.
Derived from the same designers as the Deathglider and introduced shortly after the assimilation of the Tion Cluster, the TASC will become one of the main troop transports used by the Black Dragon Empire. Although it is covered in heavy armor plating and carries several devastating weapons, the craft is still fast and maneuverable. The armies of the Imperium rely on these shuttles to deliver six death infantry squads directly into combat situations. TASC's are also responsible for providing vehicles and other supplies to garrisons, and can carry 180 metric tons of cargo.
In combat, the TASC relies on five gunners and a precise targeting system to clear landing areas. After deploying troops or cargo into the thick of a battle, most shuttles remain in the area to provide cover fire for death commandos or troops engaged in combat.
Along with their impressive weaponry, all TASC's are equipped with a single speeder bike reserved for reconnaissance duty. The bike always has a slaved communications terminal that transmits at a randomly determined frequency to prevent interception by enemy forces. In addition, the shuttle’s communication array allows for contact with all BDE vessels and units, both in space and on the ground.
The TASC also includes the first integration of known technologies from across the Imperium. The weapons and shielding are from Tion/Farfalen technology, which are then added to the sheer strength from the Dameun, with the mechanical expertise of the Tion Cluster, to produce this engineered wonder of technology:
