It can attain orbit under its own power from unprepared landing sites because of its vertical take-off (VTAL) capability, which makes it more flexible than other craft. The Dropship can also operate as a close-support gunship by using its own internal gun and deploying weapons pods and hardpoints for rockets and missiles.
