The Londinium Space Navy used a variety of small craft, but all were built on a series of standard spaceframes. The Eagle shuttle, Valkyrie dropship and Wyvern fighter are built on the same basic 50 ton spaceframe, allowing them to use the same docking bays and many of the same spare parts. These are not true spaceships; while they have artificial gravity, they do not have pulse drives and are therefore dependent on a carrier for interplanetary travel.

The Valkyrie was the last dropship introduced by the pre-Alliance Londinium Space Navy. It was armed and armored and could deliver 12 combat troops and a small cargo.

For maximum capacity short range trips, around 40 standing troops could be carried.

The Londinium Space Navy didn’t see a need for specialized fighter designs and instead built one craft to carry out all missions. The Wyvern’s large missile bay allows her to carry ship-killer or anti-fighter missiles or a mix of both. She can also carry bombs or ground attack missiles for close air support.
