The Colossus-class Dropship is the largest version of the standard Union-class Dropship. Designed for both planetary landings into a combat zone and precision tactical orbital drops, it is both well-armored and armed. The ship can carry two full clusters of battlewalkers or tanks and nine hundred armored infantrymen, plus support personnel. In lieu of the walkers and armored infantry, the ship can carry an understrength brigade of mechanized infantry.
The Colossus also features MMA-designed ablative armor in addition to standard armor plate. The Colossus-class carries 1.5 meters of superdense ablative material, allowing the ship to weather considerable damage before sustaining hull breach and giving damage control parties extra time to restore shield generators. The density and thickness of the armor can withstand a few dozen turbolaser hits before burning away to reveal more standard armor plate underneath.
As with all MMA-produced combat vessels, the ship features the innovative harjel repair system, a set of backup shields rated at one-third the power of the ship's standard shields, and the new PDS in addition to the ship's standard weaponry and defenses.
