Description: With a structure that looks like an opening flower bud, the attractive and mysterious Drakh shuttle is used to ferry a single Drakh passenger – and anything he might be carrying with him – to another ship. Similar in internal design as an escape pod or Minbari Flyer, the quarters are not extravagant or even very comfortable. The shuttle was designed solely to bring a passenger from one ship to another.

After seeing how useful breaching pods and assault shuttles were in the historical records of the Centauri once they took root in the Republic, the Drakh modified a number of their shuttles to become ‘assault’ pods of a sort. Armed with a small fusion cutter and hull-ripping ‘petals’, the assault shuttle forces entry into an airlock or weak hull section in order to deposit a trio of deadly Drakh infantrymen – and often several crawling Drakh keepers, who will soon turn a ship’s crew against one another!
