The Sprite is a derivative of the Nymph fighter class. It is intended to carry a full squad of infantry and their carrier vehicle, plus a reasonable amount of additional cargo, to a planetary surface as rapidly as possible. Given these operating parameters, there was no need to provide excessive fuel tankage, or extended accommodations for the crew. However, extended life support in installed in case other operations are required. Additional fuel tankage could easily be installed in the cargo bay to extend duration, and modular habitat units could be carried.
