Gryphon-class Tech Infantry Light Assault Vessel: 41 in Service

This is the newest class of assault ships, designed to be fast, small, and easy to maintain. It carriers two Assault Pinnaces along with necessary support equipment, a crew of 58, and generally embarks two complete Tech Infantry platoons. Twin Ion drive systems give the Gryphon the capability to reach .85 light speed. Her armament is designed to repel small vessels and provide general purpose defense.

Aegis-class Tech Infantry Light Assault Vessel: 12 in Service

This is an older class of light assault transport. It carries two companies of TI Marines and 8 Assault Pinnaces to land them on the surface. It also has two 8-tube banks of Pod Insertion Launchers, and a distinctive two-pronged Transit Beacon device for the full range of planetary assault options. After heavy losses in the Bug Wars, only twelve of these older ships remain in service. A new class is planned to take the place of these ships, but development has been placed on hold due to the current civil war.

Marathon-class Tech Infantry Medium Assault Vessel: 38 in Service

This is a medium-sized vessel capable of landing a complete TI Marine Brigade by assault pinnace, pod insertion, or tranit beacon. It is not capable of atmospheric entry, although it carries several Planetary Assault Pods for carrying heavy equipment down to the surface. The design emphasizes cargo capacity for heavy equipment over large numbers of troops.

Passchendaele-class Tech Infantry Heavy Assault Vessel: 26 in Service

This vessel is designed to carry a full division of 20,000 TI troopers and land them on an enemy planet. It does not normally carry Planetary Assault pods, but emphasizes large numbers of troops. The Passchendaele and Marathon class ships are designed to work together, with the Passchendaele carrying the troops while the Marathon carries the equipment.

MacArthur-class Tech Infantry Heavy Assault Vessel: 30 in service

The largest class of TI Assault vessel, these ships are almost as large as a Star Control Ship and carry two divisions of infantry, plus a large quantity of support equipment and supplies, and an astonishing forty-eight assault pods to land them and their equipment on a hostile planet. As long as you aren't facing a major core world with a billion-plus population, one of these ships might be enough to mount an invasion all by itself.
