== Dracosan Armoured Transport ==

[[File:Dracosan.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The Dracosan is also known as the [[-4 Str|roided-up]] [[Chimera Transport|Chimera]].]]

A Heavy Troop Carrier built on the Malcador hull, the Dracosan was the foremost troop transport for the Imperial Army in the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. It was large enough to accommodate twenty troops, and heavily armored enough to protect them from intense enemy fire. Its protection was greater than the ubiquitous [[Rhino]] and it is equipped with either a powerful twin-linked [[lascannon]] or a mighty [[Demolisher Cannon|demolisher cannon]] at the expense of some of its transport capacity.

The Dracosan was a common sight in the 30th Millennium, being manufactured under contract by several dozen Forge Worlds across the Imperium to standards only usually required of war machines destined for service with the Legiones Astartes. A heavily armed and armored carrier, the Dracosan was large enough to accommodate a fully strength Solar Auxilia Infantry section of twenty auxiliaries, and heavily armored enough to protect them from all but the most intense of enemy fire. Being intended for service in hostile environments and even the void of space, the Dracosan needed to be absolutely air-tight as not to endanger the lives of its passengers and crew.

Equipped with a fearsome array of weapons of its own, the Dracosan could steadfastly defend itself against enemy counter-attack and pound enemy positions to dust before the auxiliaries disembarked to storm what remained of their objective. Given the necessary resources and expenditures to build such an exceptional vehicle, the Dracosan was employed almost exclusively by forces configured in the [[Solar Auxilia]] pattern, whether these "regular" Excertus Imperialis units or other forces following the same order of battle, such as the household troops of certain [[Rogue Trader]]s Militant or, occasionally, the elite retainers of high status Imperial Commanders. Of course, since at the height of the Great Crusade about a fifth to fourth of the Imperial Army ground troops were Solar Auxilia...

Unfortunately, unlike most Malcador variants, the Mechanicus suddenly went [[Derp|full retard]] and forgot, for the most part, how to construct these things. Which is beyond retarded since the thing is obviously just a fucking Malcador without a turret, using the space saved for a troop bay. And it was built by dozens of Forge Worlds so...yeah, that's basically the same as forgetting how to build the Leman Russ. Not happening.
