DESCRIPTION
Meant to carry a sizable invasion force, the Basilisk-class Heavy Landing Craft, Air Cushion is not necessarily meant for a deployment from a ship, but is more suited for shore-to-shore troop deployment. Though amphibious assault landings are generally ill-advised, in the event they become necessary or the Basilisk is attacked en-route, it has a sizable Close-in-Weapon-System support system, which can also be used in assault or protection of allied forces during invasion.
During landing, the Basilisk can deploy troops via four different doors, with the main forward door for large vehicles, the rear door for smaller vehicles, and multiple-side doors. The side-troop doors also function as ramps, and as necessary have smaller side doors which can be dropped instead.
