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 10 refuel will last 30 days.

This vessel can seat three passengers in comfort - one beside the Pilot and two in a row of seats. Behind that are two cramped benches that another two people can squeeze into.

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 Kiwi Corporation in 273, 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 dozen examples each year, and second hand versions have been found in some very out of the way regions.
