The Ward Industries C-24 Mastodon is a Zokesian four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built by Ward Industries (now Cyten-Ward Industries). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-24 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in other roles, including as a gunship (AC-24), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide.

The C-24 entered service with the Confederacy in 2156, followed by the UIF and many other nations. During its years of service, the Mastodon has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.
