Description: Unsurprisingly similar in concept to the shuttles of the Earth Alliance, this vessel demonstrates slightly superior Centauri technology in its design. Though lacking the greater cargo space and transport capability of other large shuttles, the Centauri model is adapted for atmospheric flight and is adequately armed, with a turbo-charged particle gun that can be used to dissuade raiders or boarders long enough for an escorting ally to deal with the problem. As a Centauri liner, it also provides greatly increased comfort over the shuttles of other races, as befits the noble houses.

Having become standard throughout both Centauri military and merchant fleets, this shuttle may also be found throughout the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, as the Centauri Republic has been keen to capitalize on trade agreements based around other governments’ desires to acquire any sort of advances in their technology.
