ETA-3 Escort Transport

XWA UpgradeTransport - Armed Transport


The Beta-class ETR-3 Escort Transport is a heavy troop transport. Originally designed to escort construction vessels when establishing planetary outposts on unspecified worlds, it carries a squad of speeder bikes. The ETR is equipped with 2 laser and Ion cannons, warhead launchers and 4 turrets.

 

RC-Variant

In Battle 2 of X-Wing Alliance, there was also a theoretical modified Escort Transport used by Admiral Zaarin to remote-control his new TIE Experimentals. The ship is most distinguishable from the regular version by its elevated roof and a pair of dish-like structures ontop, instead of the large container. This model, while included in the vanilla game's files, has never been used in any of the related missions, maybe not having made it through QA in time. Instead the TIEs are controlled via regular ETRs. For this remake, I have included a remagined version of this ship which can be loaded into the missions via object profiles.
