A dropship deploying troops
A dropship (or drop ship) was any craft designed to transport infantry, droids, supplies, or vehicles to the surface of a planet, either for peaceful purposes or in the case of planetary assaults. Dropships were commonly deployed from starships capable of atmospheric flight or landing. Most dropships lacked hyperdrives and boasted relatively few armaments or defenses.
