This standard design launch is produced throughout the Imperium, primarily as an auxiliary for cargo ships requiring some self-contained shuttle capability for use at ports where the ship is not able to land. As such, it is not optimized for atmospheric travel. The twelve cramped seats which are available for passenger transfer are designed to fold down flush with the floor of the cargo bay when not required, which increases cargo capacity to 184kl. At 160kl with seats extended, the cargo bay can hold 2 Imperial Standard 4 ton cargo containers, or 11 standard 1 ton containers.
No armament has been provided, nor has space been reserved for the installation of weaponry at a later date.
