You're right about the looks - it ain't quite as squat as a Hind. As far as role, I think the Hind has been pressed into service to do just about anything... except take off without a runway! *rimshot*
I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast

This is the direct inspiration for it.

In role it's a Huey/Blackhawk/Hind/ any similar helicopter, but with magic-tech engines in place of rotors. To the Coalition this is a pretty basic, cheap and cheerful kind of a craft, but it does the job. By the Coalition era going from group to orbit is a small, very simple thing and it really doesn't need significant technology to do it.

Re: Fighters and other subships
What about land vehicles like modern day tanks and such, or do they also use shuttles for that?

Re: Fighters and other subships
I pretty much suck at designing land vehicles - haven't done any yet.

Re: Fighters and other subships
So I've Blenderised up a slightly better version of the Mule.

Re: Fighters and other subships
Now it looks even more like a Hind.
Not that there's anything wrong with that... you know, form following function and all that.
