Mantis

Liset	Mantis	Nightwave	Scimitar	Xiphos

The Mantis is a Landing Craft, which can serve as an alternative transportation choice to the Liset. If the Mantis is the selected Landing Craft, using an Air Support Charge will have Ordis initiate the Med-Tower Ability, deploying a Med-Tower, resembling a Life Support Capsule, that heals for 100 Health upon each activation, with each Med Tower providing up to 20 healing charges that can be activated by any player.

The Mantis landed in Update 17.5.

Building the Mantis requires the Landing Craft Foundry Segment.
