The Descent Capsule Carrier is a space transport deployed by ZAFT, first introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A transport ship that carries a total of 11 capsules for earth descent suspended on the underside of the hull. It can be said that it was developed for earth-descent operations that assault enemy territory from satellite orbit. Each descent capsule can carry up to four MS. The capsule's outer wall is purged with explosive bolts when it breaks through the atmosphere and reaches an altitude at which MS can be deployed.
