Description
Armament
The Fortress is noted for is heavy armament and armor, being as heavily armored as the larger Overlord and better armed. The heavy weapons of this loadout are the two massive AC/20s, six PPCs, four LRM-20s and eight Large Lasers. These impressive weapons are backed up by five lighter AC/5s, six SRM-6s, four LRM-10s, and sixteen Medium Lasers. The capstone of this impressive load out, is a weapon rarely seen on dropships, the massive Long Tom III artillery cannon that allows the Fortress to back up it's mixed battalion no matter where they are.

Variants
- Upgrade - Projected to launch in 3058, this version of the Fortress replaces the normal Heat Sinks with fewer double heat sinks and uses the extra tonnage to greatly improve the weapons load of the Dropship by upgrading the PPCs to ER PPCs, adding Artemis IV to all the missile launches (though to do this two of the SRM-6s were removed). Further, the Large Lasers were upgraded to ER and ten of the Medium Lasers were upgraded to Medium Pulse Lasers and four were removed.
