Tau-class Shuttle
Ship Class: Transport
Ship Role: Troop Transport
Ship Length: 16 meters
Agility (A): 3
Defensive (D): 4
Offensive (O): 1
Speed (S): 4
Special Gear: 2 (Passenger Space, Sensor Mask)
Description:
The Tau-class Shuttle was developed as a prototype test bed for rapid infiltration and exfiltration of military assets. With the success of the Veers-Class Legion Support Cruiser program, Roland Ferrum and the 3rd Imperial Engineering Regiment were utilised once again by Grand Marshal Zahn to design and build a working version of the Tau-class. Given the requirements of the proposed project, only a handful of ships were built. But their construction provided a number of valuable lessons which could be applied to other designs.
Packed within its 16 meter length was a shielding system, a hyperdrive, sensor masking system, 2 Laser Cannons, engines capable of launching the Shuttle up to speeds similar to the X-wing, and space for 11 passengers and 2 crew members. The Tau-class also featured retractable floor plates to allow for in-flight drops of passengers and supply pods. Meanwhile a rear loading ramp allowed regular embarking and disembarking of occupants and cargo.
