Ikorta Class Light Assault Cruisers
Debatably the largest ship in the galaxy capable of making atmospheric landings on a planet’s surface, the Ikorta is dedicated to delivering troops for ground assaults. With a full platoon of troops in the onboard barracks, the Ikorta can smash an opponent’s defenses with its primary weaponry to ensure it can travel safely to drop them off and secure the area. Better flown in groups in case the enemy knows the dangers a hold full of Brakiri infantry and their advanced gravitic impellers and explosives can be, paired Ikortas can almost always guarantee a successful assault landing – even if it means the lives of the 200 marines on board.

Created as a good sister ship to the Ikorta, the Brikorta carries a small number of fighters instead of units of soldiers. When a landing begins, there are a few minutes where no weapons can actually fire; making the landing craft vulnerable to planetside defense platforms. The Brikorta was designed to remain in orbit and launch fighters or focus conventional laser weaponry, which work better in a gravity well than gravitic weaponry, to deal with orbital satellites or patrol cutters.
