HISTORY:
The GAL-365 Mk II short-range shuttle is a mainstay of ship-to-shore activity, both in the military and the civilian world.  GAL-365C versions are called MLC [marine Landing Craft] and are modified with stronger deck ribbing to carry up to 70 tons – a main battle tank, or up to 4 landrams, depending on configuration.  They can carry the crews of these Vehicles, or can bee used to do emergency evacuations of up to 100 people.  They are equipped with a short-range FTL system good for two jumps (as opposed to 10 with a raptor.)

The Colonial Marine Corps also uses an uparmored version of the GAL-365, commonly referred to as an MLS (Marine Landing Shuttle.)  An MLS is usually piloted by dedicated CMC pilots, but often pilots are crosstrained for MLS and Raptors.

The MLS Armor rating is 2W, 2S, and they carry 24-100 marines, depending on the drop load.  The lower cargo deck is designed to hold a single main battle tank, or up to 4 landrams, depending on their mass and size.  With a tank, only 24 marines can be carried.  For a quick drop, 100 marines and their gear can be loaded.
