Description: The standard utilitarian workhorse found across the many colonies and outposts of the Earth Alliance, the shuttle is basic, but a highly adaptable design that has gone relatively unchanged for many years due to its overall success. Originally envisioned as a light transport for EarthForce, commercial operations have taken control of many, though the relatively high cost of even used models still reserves it service to large corporations rather than the common merchant or trader. The shuttle is highly modular in nature and can be adapted to a variety of functions, with some military shuttles finding a way to retrofit a single uni-pulse cannon to its nose – just in case.
