considerable depth. It is ideal for in-depth explorations
of earth-like worlds.
It is equipped with two foreword-mounted laser
cannons. Powered by a nuclear fusion reactor, this
voidship does not need to be refueled, and has
unlimited range. Rumors suggest that it was originally
designed with an anti-matter reactor in mind, but the
reactor’s research project has fallen greatly behind
schedule due to several “unforeseen complications” of
which Cygnus Shipyards will not elaborate on.

This suborbital shuttle follows preprogrammed
routes, rocketing into the ionosphere and then gliding
back down to its destination. On occasion, the
suborbital shuttle was used to transfer valuable cargo
and passengers to low-orbital satellites or other
shuttles to be further transported to lunar sites or to
distant colonies.
With a complete understanding of suborbital shuttle
operations (a piloting skill category), a being can use
the craft to transport himself and 79 other companions
anywhere in the world (or even into low orbit). If the
shuttle’s operations are not completely understood, the
shuttle can only be used as transport to destinations
currently programmed in the navigation computer (the
DM controls the available locations).
The user must pre-pay for the usage of the shuttle.
The charges are based off of the flight plan.
