Star Wars: Imperial Winter is a free, multi-platform, real time strategy game using the open-source Spring RTS engine. Featuring over a hundred different units for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance, spanning from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi, SW:IW aims to not only contain the best gameplay of any Star Wars RTS, but the most diverse cast of units, including: Stormtroopers, TIE Fighters, X-Wings, stealthy Rebel Commandos, Bothan spies, Royal Guards, Wookiees, "reactivated" Battle Droids, repulsorlift tanks, walkers, and more! Gameplay features include asymmetrical balance, with the two factions playing very differently from each other; territory-based constant-income resource system allowing a fluid economy rather than paying upfront; realistic weapon physics, with every single projectile's path is realistically calculated, meaning your men can hide behind a hill from enemy laser fire but not from an artillery cannon, and many other features.
This is the alliance heavy transport. Typical of the alliance, the most heavy unit it can field from the repulsorlift plant (and therefore, in the beta) is not a heavy tank, but rather a troop transport. Unlike the Imperial APC, this unit is not a light unit to ferry a handful of units, The rebels already have a light aerial transport buildable from their barracks (preview coming soon) with which they can achieve this high mobility role. This transport is heavily armoured, and is a combat transport - it is meant for rebel players to drop their troops safely into battle. Further, it's large holds can carry several times more then the Imperial APC. This unit allows you to get your troops to the front of a firefight intact - and makes for brutal flanking tactics, as it's stealth abilities allow the Rebels to slip it beneath the enemy radar, and drop a whole battle force behind enemy lines.
