Description:
Taken from a modification of design specifications of a standard Modulon Ore Transport, Fremen Assault Transports weren’t created until the rise of Maud’dib. They differ from the role of the Sardaukar Corvettes in that their primary function is to land ground troops on planets, and they consider any other goal tertiary. By the time of their peak most planets were too intimidated by the Fremen to effectively resist, with most space defenses being done only by the foolhardy. This caused relatively little problems with capital ships, though planetary fighters became an issue. The new Class-D defensive missile system showed its worth in trials and soon became the standard on the new generation invasion craft.

The Assault Transport itself is a dichotomy. While the new missiles and Matter Cannons were state of the art technology, the hull itself was a rather uninspired older design that was chosen for its ability to be mass-produced. The end result was a strong ship that became ubiquitous throughout space, but if any faction had ever been able to challenge Maud’dib in space things have might have gone quite differently indeed. Still, it was adequate for its job, and once the Fremen had landed on your planet their warrior skills proved to be far more than adequate.
