AO-2 Cometstrike-class orbital assault pod

Canon Linked from 4 articles

The AO-2 Cometstrike-class orbital assault pod was a model of orbital assault pod developed by Cygnus Spaceworks as the successor to the AO-1 orbital assault pod. The craft had a single purpose, to quickly and securely deliver its passengers to a planet's surface, and as such was designed to hurtle towards its target at a speed high enough to avoid engagement from enemy fighters as well as ground-defense weapons. The pods were marketed towards mercenary companies and were used by small warlords on the edge of the Unknown Regions.
