"This ship for many was the first contact with the Ultra fleet, bringer of aids and help, or the hammer that from the sky strikes them down and make them pay for their actions"
- Zeel Copperscale

The Vertébra class heavy transport it's usually deployed as an indipendent ship for small scale operations or used in groups when large concentration of Ultra forces must be deployed at once, the modularity in the Ultra fleet it's rather easy to be seen in the scale of this heavy transport, infact it have 8 indipendent loading bays that can house several dropshis, smaller cargo units or indipendent drop pods, allowing the ship to be extreemly flexible and quite robust as the indipendent bays are ideal to contain damage as they can be ejected to ensure the ship survival, on the dorsal section of the ship there are 4 medium beam emitter arrays useful to eliminate multiple small sized threats or deter larger ships, while on the "chin" of the ship pointing downwards there are 2 large beam emitting arrays for fire support while deploying it's cargo and troops during combat operations, the large emitters also allow for wide spread scattershot to be used to defeat missile based planetary defence on a small scale, but it's rare to see such large transports headed straight into well defended planets.
