Description:
The Sardaukar’s ship of choice, it may land 6 imperial legions using its two assault pods during a planetary attack. The assault pods are detachable, and the Assault Cruiser merely has to attain orbit in order to deploy them. While known primarily as a weapon of the Emperor’s legions, the Assault Cruiser has found its way into many House navies and has become the weapon of choice for any planned invasion. The ship itself is well situated to its role of planetary assault, being a tough design and employing four of the new Rail Interceptor Arrays. It is also one of the few carrier craft currently produced by Ix. It can carry a flight of 6 fighters and 12 assault shuttles into combat.

Design Notes:
A Burseg of the Sardaukar is currently testing a prototype version that would replace the fighter capacity for breaching pods.

Playtesting showed the ship to be underpowered for the point cost - a second Heavy Lasgun was added to give the ship a moderate fire support ability in fleet situations, but its primarily a defensive vessel.
