Does anyone have the specs, or sell a ship that has a very large passanger load? With humans, over 900,000 troops. With droids, well, just able to pack fully?

This is a roleplay question. Hence, iMove http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon2.gif "International Incidents".

I don't think you will be able to find a troopship capable of carrying 900,000 soldiers and equipment.

you would convert a capital ship to support this ammount of personel, and use smaller dropships to ferry soldiers from space to fight.

The largest transport ships my FT nation ever used were troopships, which ferried a full division (about 15,000 to 18,000 personnel, plus vehicles, supplies, etc etc). Something that can carry 900,000 that would be an orbital city with engines

Well, if you don't mind a slight compromise, the Pale Rider Arms Argos can carry a full 10 thousand in stasis, with a hundred vehicle garage. As an added bonus, crew requirements are also low due to the Direct Neural Interface controls, allowing higher efficiency in your military.

An excellent choice for the discerning planetary invader, the Argos can carry a huge amount of forces into a combat zone. The Argos is able to defend itself from attackers using its batteries of CIPWS. Adapted for space combat, the CIPWS make excellent heavy cannon in atmosphere.

((I can never figure out what CIPWS stands for... my mind is rotting away!))

Whoops, sorry. It's Close In Plasma Weapon System, a slight variant of the CIWS of modern day (it shoots fiery plasma death!).

Thanks all. I guess it's time to start designing. Any storefronts want to sell buy it so they can sell it when I finish?? Im desiging mainly to carry battledroids, but there will be extremely small quarters for human transports. I think I could get about 15,000 human per ship, and 525,000 battledroids per ship.

We may be able to design a ship that would be able to meet your 900,000 troop capacity. If you were to provide the required space for the droids, as well as if you want weaponry or shields, we may be able to create a viable ship.
