Engineered by the Commonwealth's branch of Kallon Weapon Industries, the transport was sold to various factions that were friendly to the parent nation. The ''Seleucus''-Class was designed to be a dedicated Battle Armor transport when all that was available at the time were multi-purpose [[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. These ships continued to serve various ex-League states and mercenary units well into the reunification of the Free Worlds League in [[3139]].<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp51+"/> ==Armament and Capacities== 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 ''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. 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+"/> ==Cargo== The heart and prime purpose of the ''Seleucus'' is its Battle Armor and Infantry bays. Less important, but also of note, are its vehicle and cargo bays.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp51+"/> *Bay 1 - Battle Armor Cubicles (20 Squads/80 Troopers) - 5 Doors *Bay 2 - Light Vehicle Cubicles (12 units) - 1 Door *Bay 3 - Cargo (217 tons) - 1 Door ==Notes== * The ship carries four [[Escape Pod]]s and four [[Lifeboat]]s.
