	Mounting 15 tons of [[Orestes Cold Forge]] armor and an [[XL engine]], the ''Huscarl'' is a ponderous but well armed and armored design. Though some have likened the aircraft to a flying whale, others love its massive 43 tons of available [[pod space]], particularly when facing [[DropShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s. The heavy hitting, ammunition dependent nature of configurations somewhat sidesteps the mere 14 [[double heat sink]]s carried on its base chassis.<ref name=TRO3067-152-153/>		Mounting 15 tons of [[Orestes Cold Forge]] armor and an [[XL engine]], the ''Huscarl'' is a ponderous but well armed and armored design.
