Condor Medium Dropship
Introduced in Dropzone Commander
A lighter, faster cousin to the Albatross, the Condor is typically employed for spearhead operations. With a smaller transport capacity, it also finds extensive use with specialised sections that do not typically take to the battlefield in vast numbers.
Designed with a similar philosophy to the Albatross, the Condor is a low cost unit with moderate armoured protection, and is best employed beyond the reach of enemy air defences.
Due to its higher combat speed, it is often called upon over the Albatross to ferry mechanised infantry formations to flashpoints. In any case, UCM military doctrine discourages the transport of over 30 men in a single unit. This limits the risk of high casualties should a dropship be lost, making the Condor the UCM’s premier infantry transport.
