==Description==
Designed during the early years of the [[thirty-second century]], the '''''Seleucus''''' Infantry Transport was produced originally for the former [[Free Worlds League]] nation-state, the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. Engineered by the Commonwealth's branch of Kallon Weapon Industries, the transport was sold to various factions that were friendly to the parent nation.

Designed during the early years of the [[32nd Century]], the '''''Seleucus''''' Infantry Transport was produced originally for the former [[Free Worlds League]] nation-state, the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. Engineered by the Commonwealth's branch of Kallon Weapon Industries, the transport was sold to various factions that were friendly to their parent nation.  
  
The ''Seleucus''-Class was designed to be a dedicated Battle Armor transport when all that was available at the time were multipurpose [[Combined-Arms]] [[DropShips]]. These ships would prove, over the decades since their commissioning, to be tough reliable transports, keeping their Battle Armor clad troops safe and protected until delivered to their target destination.

The ship was designed with combat readiness in mind, and this shows through the use of 54 tons of standard gauge armor with the majority focused in the craft's bow and wing sections.     
+
The ship was designed to be tough and ready, which includes use of 54 tons of standard gauge armor with focus of the armor in its bow and wing sections.     
  
The ''Seleucus'''s weapons bays mainly consist of long-range and hard hitting weaponry, with most of the firepower found in its nose section. Using two Extended Range Particle Projector Cannons working in concert with four Light Gauss Rifles - with a total of sixty-four rounds of ammunition supplying those Rifles - provides the ship with an incredible amount of long-range firepower. Contributing to the DropShip's forward section's firepower is its wing section weaponry; each wing contains a pair of Extended 20-tubed Long-Range Missile launchers, a single ER PPC, a laser bay filled with a pair of ER Large Lasers and four Medium Lasers, and three Anti-Missile Systems.

The ''Seleucus'''s weapons bays focus on long-range and hard hitting firepower, particularly in its nose section. Using a combination of two Extended Range Particle Projector Cannons working in concert with four Light Gauss Rifles with total sixty-four rounds of ammunition provides the ''Seleucus'' with an incredible amount of long-range firepower. Contributing to the ship's forward section's firepower is its wing section weaponry.  Each wing section contains a pair of Extended Range 20-tubed Long-Range Missile launchers, single ER PPCs and laser bay of ER Large and ER Medium Lasers, and three Anti-Missile Systems.
  
Additionally, each wing houses three more aft-facing Anti-Missile Systems, while the aft section itself is defended by a pair of both ER Large and Medium Lasers, as well as a pair of Artemis IV-enhanced 20-tubed Long-Ranged Missile launchers. The launchers are supplied by thirty rounds of ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp51+"/>
