The CR25 troop carrier, more commonly known as the Republic dropship, was a multipurpose dropship used to deploy units of clone troopers and gunships in battlefronts where the use of an Acclamator-class assault ship was deemed too impractical.
Characteristics[]
The clone commandos and Galactic Marines favored the CR25 over the CR-20, because it had more cargo space, could hold eight LAAT/i gunships and had ports for null gravity space debarking.
History[]

Clone Wars[]
The CR25 was known as the "bigger brother" of the CR-20 troop carrier. Delta Squad traveled in a CR25 and used its debarking ports to board the captured assault ship Prosecutor.
