The GS-24 Pelican was designed for one main purpose, the capture and/or crippling of enemy ships.  The Pelican is equipped with adaptive shield generators that august to the shield frequency of the targeted ship’s shields.  This allows the Pelican to penetrate the shields of the enemy ship and land inside one of the hangar bays.  At that point the gunship is able to create a beachhead to launch Marines into the enemy ship.  This is made possible with the Rift platform, a teleporter that moves matter through a special layer of sub-space.  When two Rift platforms link there is no known barrier that can block a transport.  It  is because of this that the Pelican is also used to establish beachheads on starbases and planet surfaces.  

I was inspired to build this modal be Star Wars Battlefront 2 for the PS2.  It was when I was able to take the gunships of any of the teams and land it in the hangar bay of the enemy team.  Once landed inside, you could respawn on the enemy ship to destroy from the inside.
