NANDI-CLASS-DROPSHIP/TRANSPORT VEHICLE
The main transport craft of the Vedas fleet, originally built in small numbers to serve as a utility vehicle for larger vessels, for situations where beaming technology would not work. When the Asurs developed their area jamming technology the importance of this vehicle increased as did production. This quickly became a common sight on both ships and bases, taking both the transport and recon roles. To aid in the recon role the craft has highly sensitive sensors capables of ground and terrain mapping, building mapping and detecting life signs. A few have gene marker programing installed, the hope is this would better able to tell friend from foe, But this was and still is in the development process, I was never tested.
