Capsule:

AIC-4 designed to fit in belly of Star Destroyer and send troops to planet surface. Will survive ground based and space/atmospheric defenses.  Other craft used for safe drops. Contains crude field hospital. AIC-4 uses guns to clear area around landing site, unloads troops  and goes back for more. If air defenses too dangerous for slow ascent, the AIC-4 may be stranded.
