STATON CLASS GENERAL PURPOSE SHUTTLE

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Staton class general purpose shuttle was, like its bigger brother, the Altron class heavy fuel shuttle, designed to be carried by the Appleleaf class fleet tankers. Also like the larger Altrons examples are now found in service at some starports and they are sometimes employed as an away boat for larger vessels.

The Statons can be reconfigured to vary the amount of L-Hyd or dry cargo carried. This has a marginal impact on drive performance, dropping from 2G to around 1.9G under maximum load.
