DESCRIPTION
The LB-700 is a small, relatively fast shuttle produced by the Rontorque Manufacturing corporation of Tatooine, one of the desert world's only large industrial concerns. Despite its humble origins, however, the LB-700 has found respectable sales in markets scattered across the Outer Rim, and has developed something of a cult following.The LB-700 is 30 meters in length, and is arranged in a rough lifting body configuration, giving it decent aerodynamics compared to many starships. Able to carry 5 tons of cargo and 22 passengers, it has a crew of 3, including a pilot, co-pilot and flight attendant. Only the pilot is strictly necessary to fly the ship, the co-pilot being legally necessary to carry passengers under most jurisdictions, with the flight attendant seeing to the comfort and other needs of said passengers; some budget spacelines will omit the flight attendant to lower ticket prices, at the cost of service. The LB-700 is protected by shields, as well as a single retractable dorsal laser turret; when used, the turret is usually operated by either the co-pilot or the flight attendant. Should these measures fail, each passenger and crew-member is provided with a personal ejection seat, equipped with an integrated survival capsule.
The LB-700 is a popular short-haul passenger transport in many parts of the Outer Rim, although some independent owners prefer only to haul freight, renovating the passenger accommodations into an additional cargo bay or living space. It is also sometimes carried by large passenger and cruise liners, which use LB-700s as a launch for ferry crew, passengers and supplies to and from destination worlds.
LEGALITY
Legal. Passenger shuttles such as the LB-700 are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.INTENT
To create a standard short-haul passenger transport.
