The A2 Hercules Starlifter from Crusader Industries is a large transport gunship and the military Hercules variant that features an integrated bomb bay and is outfitted with additional weapon turrets. Due to the bomb bay taking up space inside the ship, the cargo bay can only hold one Nova instead of two.
| “ | The A2 gunship has been used to devastating effect in airborne assaults, search and rescue operations, and landing initiatives. With more than double the firepower of the M2, and a custom bomb bay capable of delivering a staggering payload, the A2 caters to anyone hauling massive amounts of cargo through potentially unfriendly skies. | ” |
