Editing Galaxy-class Troop Ship (section)

==Overview==

Vaguely resembling the [[Tau]] [[Manta]] (Or a [[Star Wars|Millennium Falcon]]) in both shape and role, just on a much larger scale. The Galaxy was [[Skub|arguably]] the largest atmospheric-capable dropship in the Imperium of Man. Imperial Guard Regiments are recruited from a world's best warriors — gang fighters from hive worlds, planetary defence forces from industrialized worlds, tribal warriors from Feral Worlds and the feudal elites from Feudal Worlds. At the time prescribed by the [[Administratum]], a troop ship such as a Galaxy arrives at the planet to recruit the elite warriors. They then begin a great journey through space during which they are trained in the armaments and tactics of the Imperium. They are issued with standard Imperial equipment — [[lasgun]]s, [[Flak Armour|flak armour]] and so forth — and instructed in the [[Imperial Cult]]. When they arrive at their destination, they have been trained into a crack force, their natural warrior skills honed to a razor-sharp edge.

The Galaxy and the regiments of the Imperial Guard they carry are often included in battlefleets when there are planets to conquer. The Guardsmen land on the planets after the warships have first destroyed enemy opposition in space and softened up the ground troops with orbital bombardment. The Galaxy has a compartment large enough to fit approximately 4 regiments (Or around 3200 Guardsmen) but the size varies depending on the size of the regiments and the mission they're on.

Unfortunately, their advance miniaturised warp engine and political fuckery from [[Goge Vandire]] means that no Galaxy Troop Ships have been built since the [[Age of Apostasy]], [[Fail|as the means to build them have been lost]].
