Line 46: Developed in [[3053]], the '''''Hercules'''''-class [[DropShip]] is an [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and [[infantry]] carrier based in part on the venerable ''[[Overlord]]''. The ''Hercules'' uses many of the same components, which sped up both development and production. This commonality also gives the class a decent supply of viable spare parts -- handy given the ''Hercules''’ relatively scant 30 tons of evenly distributed armor and light weapons array.
