Capable of carrying one [[Infantry]] and one [[Combat Vehicle|tank]] [[Company]], the '''''Hannibal'''''-class [[DropShip]] combined armed transport is also designed to serve as the command and communications anchor for large unit operations.

In many respects the ''Hannibal'' seems intended to replace the ''[[Intruder]]''-class, well-armed and armored but with a much more limited fuel supply. The ''Hannibal'' also features an especially sophisticated command and communication equipment to aid in unit briefing and unit C3 thanks to the [[Word of Blake]], a sign the vessel is also something special. The [[Deller-Bingham-Fouts]] yards on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] produced four ''Hannibals'' through the first year of production, a rate that was expected to continue.

The [[Deller-Bingham-Fouts]] yards on [[Atreus]] produce an average of four ''Hannibals'' per year.

==Armament==
With a generous weapons array, the ''Hannibal'''s nose bay features an [[AC/10]], twin [[Gauss rifle]]s, an [[ER Large Laser]] paired with a trio of standard [[medium lasers]], twin [[ER PPC|ER PPCs]], and an [[Artemis IV FCS|Artemis enhanced]] [[LRM-20]] and [[SRM-6]]. Each wing carries an [[AC/5]], an ER large and standard medium laser, LRM-20 and [[Large Pulse Laser]] facing forward, with a standard medium and [[Large Laser]] and an [[SRM-4]] in rear-facing mounts. Directly aft is mounted another AC/10, ER PPC, SRM-4, and ER large, standard large and twin standard medium lasers. The ''Hannibal'' also features almost as an after-thought a [[Narc Missile Beacon]], which it is unable to utilize itself due to the Artemis blisters on its launchers, but is certainly a novel way of attaching [[Homing Pod|Narc pods]] for use by the tanks it carries.

The ''Hannibal'''s two cramped tank bays are located near the nose of the craft, each with its own ramp, allowing all twelve heavy [[Combat Vehicle]]s to disembark within five minutes, among the faster vehicle-deployment rates of any DropShip. Three bunkrooms are set aside for tank crews and their bay personnel while sixteen infantry bunkrooms near the aft of the vessel each house an infantry squad, with each company sharing bathroom and mess facilities.
