Usage:
The JCS-78 is a lightly armoured dropship meant for quick deployment/extraction in the middle of combat. Four interior belt-fed mortars are capable of capable of decimating unshielded ships, armoured vehicles and stations, while a small nose-mounted machinegun provides the craft with the ability to combat smaller threats such as infantry. The Salamander is not usually meant for combat against dedicated fighters or large vessels, as the pitiful shield capacity protects the crew and cargo from only small-arms fire.
