V-wing airspeeder transport

The V-wing airspeeder transport was a transport used by the New Republic to deploy V-wing airspeeders from capital starships. Like the V-wing itself, the transport was manufactured by Slayn & Korpil.

Characteristics
It was twenty meters long and could carry four V-wing airspeeders under its arching wings. These transports were similar in shape to the airspeeders they carried, but much larger in size. The V-wings were carried externally, and could be accessed through retractable docking tubes, as they were not sealed for space flight. As such, pilots travelled onboard the transport while in space.[1]

Once the transport reached the upper atmosphere of a planet, the V-wing pilots would climb down and strap into their airspeeders. After releasing its V-wings, the transport could return to its mothership to take another group of V-wings or remain in near orbit to await its speeders at a rendezvous point.[1]

The V-wing transport was unarmed and thus had to depend on starfighters such as X-wings and E-wings for protection.
