Mission Brief

The Hornet Class Assault Boat was designed tocomplete the following tasks:

Transportating soldiers to a landing zone insevere combat conditions; Use as a first strike vessel during combatsituations; Disabling ships for boarding missions; Performing captureoperations under various scenarios; Performing search and rescueoperations for de-planed pilots or crews of terminally damaged shipsin combat situations; Use on a starbase as needed, for missionsbeyond the capability of a shuttle, yet not requiring a full starship(or when a full starship is not available); Provide fire support forstarfighters in a combat zone.
