The EV-722 first flew in 2026, the first emdrive equipped tactical transport. It was designed to be able to airlift either a standard forty foot shipping container, with room for personnel on either side or just fit the Leopard 2A8 which was the largest Main Battle Tank in European service at the time. The most common version in use in 2095 is the Mark 27 with a maximum take off weight of 215 tonnes.
