The Varsity class is designed to deploy a reinforced airborne infantry battalion (square, natch) along with the requisite Longhaul transports (one per infantry company, two per vehicle company), although the Longhauls are broken down into containerized sub-components and must be assembled in the field. The Varsities themselves deploy along the outer ring of the Forward Operating Bastion, however the aircraft operate from the airfields of the middle ring.
