Iwo Jima Class

From Star Trek Game Information

[edit] Star Trek: Armada II

One of the newest additions to the Federation’s Starfleet, the Iwo Jima-class assault ship went into production in 2375. Carrying Federation marines, the Iwo Jima-class is designed to deploy its cargo both quickly and efficiently to the target (a ship or a facility) and take control of it in the shortest possible time. Federation marines have a reputation for toughness, and come from a variety of Federation member races. A pulse phaser and a tractor beam for immobilizing targets complement the Iwo Jima-class ships.

Note: Marines can only be transported onto a ship whose shields are down. The assault ships must also lower their own shields during the transport process, leaving them vulnerable to enemy fire. Transport Attack will direct the ship to fire at an enemy vessel until the shields are down, and then begin transporting marines aboard.
