Legionnaire Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The Legionnaire is a small boarding craft manufactured by Anvil Aerospace. For the Legionnaire, approach control, protected seating, breaching or docking access, and extraction support serve close-quarters boarding work.
Legionnaire specifications
Protected delivery with the Legionnaire
The Legionnaire gives an embarked team a protected route to the landing zone and a safe way home, with the disable, cover, and breach supporting the exposed part of that movement. The Legionnaire is built to carry a boarding team to another ship and support a direct entry away from a conventional landing zone.
What protects the team
With the Legionnaire, approach control, protected seating, breaching or docking access, and extraction support serve close-quarters boarding work.
Development note: The Legionnaire is currently in active production. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
The Legionnaire's deployment package
Approach, deployment, and pickup are all part of the Legionnaire's job. The disable, cover, and breach supports the team during the most exposed part of that route.
The Legionnaire is built to carry a boarding team to another ship and support a direct entry away from a conventional landing zone.
The Legionnaire should arrive with the team ready, use the shortest practical deployment window, and leave before the ship becomes a fixed target.
The Legionnaire keeps seats, equipment, and the route to each exit clear before the team reaches the landing zone.
Weapon and gear storage lets the people aboard the Legionnaire prepare without carrying loose equipment through the cabin.
The Legionnaire's boarding loadout
Two Size 2 distortion cannons help the Legionnaire disable a target before boarding. A remote turret with two Size 2 repeaters covers the approach, while the dedicated infiltration device gives the crew the tool needed to attack the target's security system.
Disable, cover, and breach
The forward distortion cannons are intended to help shut down a target instead of destroying the ship the boarding team needs to enter.
Two Size 2 repeaters on the remote turret protect the Legionnaire while it closes in and holds position against the target hull.
Once docked, the hacking system supports the security breach that makes the Legionnaire a boarding craft rather than a conventional dropship.
Deployment aboard the Legionnaire
The Legionnaire carries a team into a dangerous place, with seating, exits, covering systems, and the disable, cover, and breach all serving a fast and organized deployment.
-
Brief everyone aboard before the doors open
A shared briefing keeps the Legionnaire's flight path and the ground team's objective connected.
-
Cover the final approach to the landing zone
The Legionnaire uses its protection and supporting fire to cross the exposed distance without lingering in an exposed position.
-
Keep the pilot and boarding team on the same countdown
On the Legionnaire, before departure, the team reviews how the disable, cover, and breach will support deployment and pickup.
-
Give the deployed team a credible way home
The Legionnaire's pilot preserves enough fuel, protection, and access to recover the team when the mission changes.
The Legionnaire, from embarked seats to pickup point
The Legionnaire combines its disable, cover, and breach with protected seating and clear exits so the team can leave quickly after landing or boarding.
For the Legionnaire, seats, equipment stowage, and clear crew routes prepare the people aboard for their first movement after arrival.
Clear exits let the team leave the Legionnaire quickly without crowding the doorway or ramp.
Armor, weapons, and flight controls help the Legionnaire reach the target and hold position while the boarding team deploys.
Fuel, vehicle condition, pickup access, and communication give the team a credible way back aboard the Legionnaire.
The Legionnaire is built to deploy its team under fire
The Legionnaire's flight crew and embarked team need one plan for approach, exit order, covering support, and recovery.
Carrying the team in the Legionnaire
Approach, seating, exit order, and recovery are planned together so the Legionnaire can deploy its team under fire.
On the Legionnaire, everyone aboard should know the destination, fallback point, and first movement after the doors open.
On the Legionnaire, the exposed route benefits most when the disable, cover, and breach keeps exits and the deployed team protected and usable.
Aboard the Legionnaire, a known pickup point and extraction signal give the deployed team a practical route home.
Moving the team through the Legionnaire
The Legionnaire connects the disable, cover, and breach to the entrances, controls, and support areas used during normal work. People and payload can move through the Legionnaire without reorganizing the whole ship.
