The Dayvan class Runabout is a civilian smallcraft.

Description[edit]

The Dayvan class Runabout provides a low-cost method of carrying five or six people on short (business or pleasure) trips. The typical journey is from surface to orbit, but some operators use it as a VTOL/hypersonic transport and appreciate the dedicated cabin space and seating that is more akin to airliners on pre-grav atmospheric worlds, as well as the luxury of a wet bar.

The Dayvan class Runabout is equipped with a crew droid, as backup capability and to ease certain problems that certain operators get into, such the pilot getting intoxicated. This capability can support several types of droids, even ones originally unknown to the shipyard that manufactured a given Dayvan, so long as the droid fits certain parameters; many operators with access to higher technology levels have used a TL-12 option.
