Cheyenne Dropship XL

The UD-4 Utility Dropship, better known as the Cheyenne, serves as the United States Colonial Marines' signature tactical transport, functioning as a space-capable gunship for swift troop deployment from orbit. Based on larger spacecraft, the Cheyenne efficiently conveys troops, supplies, and heavy equipment, including armored personnel carriers, to any planetary surface point, thanks to its VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) capability, even navigating rough terrain.
