XANTHUS CLASS GENERAL PURPOSE SHUTTLE

FORMER THIRD IMPERIUM


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Xanthus class general purpose shuttle continues the evolutionary design path started with the TL11 Staton class, and like the Statons and subsequent classes, the Xanthus class vessels are assigned to fleet tankers and as large away boats or lighters.

Also in common with the earlier classes, the Xanthus class vessels can be reconfigured to vary the amount of L-Hyd or dry cargo carried, the conversion not resulting in any loss of performance when carrying normal cargoes.
