Description (Specifications)[edit]

This is a cross between a small shuttle and an enclosed Air/Raft. Easily mistaken for the latter, this vehicle can operate in full vacuum and can re-enter/climb out of an atmosphere. A Cr 48 refuel will last 24 hours.

This vessel can seat three passengers in comfort - one beside the Pilot and two in the first row of seats. The remaining three are sat in the back in a more cramped 3-across row.

The computer is the smallest that can be supported by a small-craft and runs only Manoeuvre/0 and Library/0.

The small Fusion Powerplant and associated Manoeuvre Drive is capable of generating enough power for the 2G acceleration, basic Life Support and little else.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Designed by General Products in 1100, this hybrid has never really made it in the Grav Vehicle market (being somewhat over spec'd) nor in the shuttle market (being too small). Despite this they have sold a few hundred examples each year, and second hand versions have been found in some very out of the way regions.
