[edit] Overview
Class 1 IMT Assault Craft
The Sloane 24x24 Ranger is the basic IMT work gang transport. Its origins as a pure transport mean that it has limited weaponry and is very poor in combat with mechs and fighters. However against natives, colonists, crew and troops it has a special advantage: the Protein Scoop. This evil device, manufactured by IMT riot control subsidiary Solent Green Ltd in England, allows the Sloane to scoop up lifeforms outside bases and process them as food at a local IMT base. This is not ethical but the Chups never complain. Defeated lifeforms are converted to food at the rate of TBA to one food unit.
