and sends out streamers of aluminum designed to

Internal Description
1. Pilot’s Station: This seat is where the pilot sits to
navigate the ship either through space or through an
atmosphere. The seat slides back along tracks and
swivels to allow the pilot to sit or get out of the seat.
In the forward position it locks into position to secure
the pilot into position.
2. Communications Station: This is where the
communications of the ship are handled. The Comm.
tech sits in the chair that slides along the station on a
track. The chair can be locked at any point of the
track to secure it during turbulence. This chair also
swivels.
3. Load Master Station: This station controls and monitors
the Radar system, the laser cannons, and is
responsible for the loading and the safe drop of the
troop drop container.
(Troop Drop Container)
4. Storage Lockers: These two lockers that are next to the
step between the drop Container and the shuttle are
used to hold any equipment needed. Usually it is
loaded with medical supplies, extra weapons, a
environmental suit w/oxygen, and extra food and
water jugs.
5. Drop Container Interior: This whole unit is one room.
The front, (the side that merges with the shuttle), has
a step up to match with the shuttle bridge. The walls
are lined with seats for 19 people, and the back wall
opens to make a ramp to exit the container. On each
wall there are two sealed gun ports that have a
mounted laser rifle mounted in it. Each seat has two
ports at the top of the back rest to recharge E-Clips,
and there is a shelf above each set of seats for storage
of equipment. Under each seat is a Utility Droid (see
description) in it’s folded storage position.
6. This is the command station of the container. Whom
ever is in charge can monitor any signals from each
troop that is assigned to this Drop Container. This
includes video and audio transmissions, Bio-readouts,
GPS positioning beacons, and even ammunition
gauges all depending on if them troops were outfitted
with this equipment. This is also where the
communications system is to communicate with other
Containers, ships, and ground vehicles.
7. Back Door: The whole back wall opens up, hinged at
the floor, to be used as a ramp for entrance and exit
of the container.

Sensors and Equipment:

Long Range Video and Communication system:
Controlled from the comm. tech, it can send a clean
accurate audio/visual transmission up to 1,000 miles
away. It may also pick up and monitor outside
transmissions. The range is doubled in space and can
be extended indefinitely by relaying it from one ship
to another or using satellites.
Flotation Device: The Container is designed so that at the
press of a button the very bottom of the container
detaches, and a flotation device is inflated. It is
basically a thick skinned rectangular air mattress
about 41 ft long, 16 ft wide, and 4 ft thick. It is made
up of 6 independent chambers so if 1 or 2 are
punctured the rest will stay inflated. It is made up of
a metal fiber mesh so it is strong, having an SDC of
25 each chamber.
Air Recycling System: Allows for unlimited time in
space or underwater or in impure air (gas, pollution,
etc.). The unit will recycle the vehicle atmosphere so
long as power remains. This system includes making
the vessel airtight. The vessel becomes effective
under water up to a depth of 1100 feet (335 m).
Radar System: A sophisticated radar system, suitable for
ground, air, and space surveillance. Can identify up
to 20 targets and simultaneously track 10. Range: 30
mi.
Radar Detector: Registers radar waves to indicate radar
surveillance. Can track the source of radar emissions
with 80% accuracy. Range 5000 miles.
