Shrike Troop Carrier
The Shrike troop transport is designed to land and recover troops in hostile environments. It is quite an aging design, but is relatively cheap and functional had has become the standard choice of many armies.
The Shrike shown here belongs to the FSE.

This is a variant of the Shrike with heavier armour, increased troop capacity and reduced weapons loadout. It is often fitted for Power Armour troops. In order to reduce the weight impact on its short term performance, its thrusters have been upgraded, but at the expense of barely having half the range of a standard Shrike.
