Overview:
The Condor infantry transport can transport 336 troops and 20 support vehicles directly onto a battlefield. The craft also features a pair of cargo holds that can accommodate up to 800 tons of supplies each. The vessel�s unique design provides a considerable amount of undesignated cargo space as well.
Each of the Condor�s hollow wings, for example, contains huge cavities largely occupied by fuel tanks, weapons bays and landing gear. However, each wing also contains a large amount of "dead" space that can be accessed by a series of passageways. These areas can be used to store up to ten tons of additional equipment, but this is rarely known outside of Condor crews.
A huge door ramp that opens into an infantry ready area in the aft provides the main access to the vessel. An oversized cargo elevator connects the ramp to the barracks and cargo bays of the Condor's second deck, which contains mess and recreation facilities for the troops, as well as a large training area. The forward section of this deck contains unusually spacious barracks-style quarters for infantry troops.
Deck three is laid out much like deck two, although the training area and some of the barracks are replaced by a well-equipped medical facility. This facility can treat up to six emergency cases at one time, with converted barracks acting as a small ward.
The uppermost deck of the DropShip contains crew and command facilities, along with the ship�s main computer and a small lounge and conference facility for the battalion staff. Access to the small bridge, which uses a cockpit-like tandem seating arrangement, is via a narrow hallway that passes between the fire control system and the communications gear.
