For Imperial Knights the Drop-Keep is an essential orbit-to-ground landing vessel. Somewhat resembling the larger coffin-landers of Titan walkers. The primary difference is that the Drop-Keep can deploy directly into battle, creating an instant fortification. Drop-Keep are heavily armoured and lined with servitor-crewed gun emplacements but their most deadly weapon is their cargo of war-machines.

The drop-Keep can carry up to twelve Imperial Knights directly to war.They will come down from the on blazing retro-rockets and even as they touch down will be opening their portcullis and drawbridge to allow the towering Knight Engines to sally forth.

Many Houses have also added auto-unfurling banners and vox-hailers, ensuring that when their scions charge into battle they do so with their proud colours flying and triumphal music playing, as befits their noble station.
