Description: Rarely used, the Shadow shuttle is a partially modified personnel transport that can be launched from and docked within a Shadow cruiser. It has been manipulated with Shadow tech in order to sustain life and energy within the dark mass of its carrier, but also to be far less vulnerable than a common shuttle. They are only ever used in circumstances that require an important Shadow servant – and no doubt his unseen bodyguards – to travel to populated areas.

Augmented slightly, the shuttle is armed with commonplace particle guns and made from common materials to the younger races in order to keep the real unique technologies from falling into others’ hands unplanned. It is more resilient and is thickened with bio-mass bulkheads, but little else of Shadow technology.
