The Roughneck-class Assault Shuttle is designed as an attack transport, intended for landing in combat zones, and for boarding operations. Because of this, it carries a greater-than-normal number of coilguns, with two on each side and one on the front. These are operated by weapons officers who operate the weapons remotely from the cockpit behind the pilot and co-pilot. Furthermore, it carries a stronger reactive armor than it's base counterpart. While it is not intended for a cargo capacity, it is capable of carrying tanks below in a sling beneath it, though this places it at the limit of it's capacity.
