Troop carrier



A troop carrier is a class of starship or heavy ornithopter that was designed to carry soldiers and military equipment. Typically, it had the capability of landing on a planet's surface.

During the Harkonnen attack on Arrakis in 10191 AG, a troop carrier loaded with 300 Sardaukar and harkonnen forces was destroyed when a Fremen piloting an Ornithopter made a kamikaze run at the ship, destroying the troop carrier and the 'thopter, as well as killing all 300 soldiers and the Fremen pilot.
