Designed as both a light troop transport, and a direct assault vessel, the
Franda Releva is a seldom-seen design in the Zentraedi Fleet. Given the Zentraedi preference to
completely obliterate their enemy, an assault transport typically holds little value. The Releva
can carry carry up to four contingents of regular Zentraedi troops, or a squad of Zentraedi in
Male Power Armour. Because of their larger size, there are few opponents that the Zentraedi can
board in the first place, aside from perhaps the Invid. Typically they are most often used to
either insert smaller Zentraedi teams onto the surface, or to sometimes re-capture Zentraedi
vessels which are not following orders. There were plans to re-capture the SDF-1 using these
small transports following a disabling of the vessel, however the plan was never fully put
into action. A combination of well-executed defenses along with both confusion and dissent among
the Zentraedi fleet contributed to the failure of the re-capture mission.
