The Hercimer Battle Jitney is a lightly armed and heavily armored troop transporter which saw limited use in the pre-Clone Wars Era.   It was originally designed as a very modifiable troop transport and was intended to have a wide variety of potential misson profiles which could be changed easily with modular equipment upgrades and swaps.  A stock Jitney sports to heavy weapons mounts and the stock reactor is capable of powering up to two heavy quad turrets in the rear.

The ship also has a central cargo bay with a ramp which descends from the ventral hull.  This ramp can be used to deploy up to four speeder bikes or swoops which can be carried in the ship's hull.

Unfortunately, Hercimer Industries went belly-up trying to develop a wide range of modular components for the multiple mission profiles.   A limited run of only a few thousand of these ships ever made it off the production line and rumor is that several hundred uncompleted Battle Jitneys lie in the old Hercimer factory in various stages of construction.  The exact location of this factory has been lost but it is known that Hercimer had their facilities located deep in the Corporate Sector.
