This standard design ship's boat is produced throughout the Imperium. Individual manufacturers attempt to boost sales with flashy advertising campaigns, but there is little substantive difference from one model to the next. This version is a compromise between an atmospheric/interface optimized design and a deepspace independent operation design, and as such is found as an auxiliary aboard vessels requiring a general purpose capability.

No weapons are installed as shown, but 13.5kl of space and sufficient control capacity have been reserved to allow for the installation of any sandcaster and/or missile turret. The ship's power plant is not large enough to allow for installation of a space combat laser, although in the current troubled times it would not be impossible to find these craft armed with whatever can be obtained, such as 20MW planetary combat pulse lasers, or even mass driver guns for ground protection.

The small cargo bay is accessible from a rear clamshell hatch, and has fittings for carrying a variety of specialized cargoes, such as 2 Imperial Standard 4 ton containers, or a up to a 6 ton class ATV or air/raft.
